Poems grow in the battlefield of love, loss and hope of another summer.
Filled with intense physical imagery Unpause is a celebration of modern micro poetry infused with traditional syllabic roots from seventh century Japan.
The wisdom of nature meets the transience of time through colours and elements explored in verse. Exquisite hand-drawn line art illustrations by the author accompany each poem. Discover unique storytelling in this minimalistic form as you live through the emotions packed in 22 syllables.
Unpause is the first book of Cinquain poetry from India. A perfect gift for poetry lovers.
