Will Turn Hell into Paradise Just Wait!

Here is a set of poems that moves the reader deeply—with hope and pain. They are intimate emotional and well-crafted. Akbar has genuine poetry in him and I have no doubt he will soon find a respectable place among the Malayalam poets available in English who unfortunately are too few.— K. SatchidanandanAkbar’s poetry is simple deeply communicative with the contemporary world and universal in its reach. What I admire most is the simplicity of expression in these poems. A positive attitude is another defining quality. At a time when the world fears another war Akbar writes “Will turn hell into paradise just wait!” He wishes for a life “silent like love and detached like God.”— Rati Saxena
