| Publisher Description: "I found a few threads that bound the various poems in this anthology. I would like to call these: a) The Optimistic Autumn; b) The Pessimistic Autumn. Among these broad categories runs a few themes, namely: i) The Spiritual; ii) The Romantic; iii) The Reminiscence. A beautiful poem, in this collection] personifies seasons as "rulers" with followers. These followers (poets) write in praise of these seasons, some rebel according to where their loyalty lies. Yet in the end, the Seasons are always changing, and so, poets always get a chance to write about each of them. ...] If there is one thing I am taking away from this anthology, it is the fact that we are never the same based on our similarities, and never different based on our differences." Souren Mondal] - "Autumn, that very time where nature sheds its old cloak making the leaves fall; yet what really happens is: it's the nature's way of making way for the new leaves to come. Our life is also like the seasons of nature, with shady and bright days mingled in one. Some people flows with their problems, till they get the solution and move on in time. Yet like some leaves of the trees that keep on hanging to the branches, there are people who keep on hanging to their problems till their last woes. We need to let go of our problem when we see that there is no solution except to let go. As in time, the new things will start to come to our lives just like the trees will have new leaves again, making everything beautiful again. Yet I give my due respect to those that fight, for their struggle shows that they care for the old, than to give up on it. However, we human beings need to remember that everything has its time." Venecia N Sangma] |
