While global literature today mostly concentrates on works of fiction and non-fiction based on far-reaching and often weighty subjects, Ghatak brings to us a collection of poetry that talks about love, devotion and tender emotions that we hardly happen to spare a passing thought to.
As the poet herself says, “This book is like a love song where love has been celebrated in various ways and forms. Hence the title”.
The book strikes all the right chords with its lucid style, blended with a reminder of the horrors of the outside world that threats to rob us of our innocence at every step.
Ghatak’s unending love and gratitude towards Jesus is amply evident too though her writings.
There are a few poems based solely on the concept of God and the poet’s deeper emotions attached to divine grace.
For all the romantics out there, there is “Evergreen Spring” and “Chocolate” to tease your romantic fantasies and lighten your mood.
Priced at Rs 199 and available at Flipkart.com, power-publishers.com and ebay.in the book is just the perfect dose of refreshment for those lazy weekends.
