"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”

As the title suggests, this anthology of Jay Basu's poems assort broken pieces of his thoughts and sensations. But a deeper dip into the apparently fragmented pieces will unveil a conceptual thread stitched across the poems. It is the poet's preponderant quest and anst for cohering the splinters of human experience of life or of living on a rough and uneven terrain. Added to this quest is a longing, sometimes overt, at other places subtle and covert, for transcending the space-time matrix to reach out to eternity. Archetypally, Jay Basu's poetry registers the impression of an agonized journey to an unreachable ocean of love and timelessness.
