'Dark Lanes of the City (Mirroring the Contemporary Individuals)' is an anthology of fifty poems written by budding poets from all over the world. It encapsulates various themes that comprise domestic violence, child abuse, victimization, illiteracy, queer, mental health, alienation, identity crisis, insanity, obsession, and ecstasy. The exclusive selection of the verses included in the book realistically captures the sufferings of autonomous poets/poetess while reflecting upon the "darkness" prevailing in contemporary society. Thus, the poems in this anthology not only try to confess the dearth of compassion and empathy among human beings but also challenges the immoralist pursuits of the fast-paced mechanized world.
