Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalShanta, winner of the Critics award of the Grand Slam Poetry Contest, under the pen name, S.J. Menaka, of the U.S. Consulate General along with Prakriti in Chennai in 2010, stands tall in the world of poets of the present times.
Coming together in this robust second volume, “The Fly-cup and Poems More…” four years after “To Kill A Poet”, published in 2016, are thirty-five works, sheer in immensity.
Written in lyrical style, Sensuality is bold and unabashed. “Feverish in Love” declares the Body, “rustic” and “incomplete” till united in sensuous love. A “Forever intercourse continues” in “Rolls on Lit Body” But beware, it is a “Monument of Body!” Traps you under different layers!
Satirical wit and pathos crackle. “Demons to doom …” “Gods to frightened skies…”and Buffaloes stroll on India -scape
Science works. As “limbers water to heights, surface tensile… “
And the eternal appeal. Ever felt such joy? From grass stains and mud, steal away “ an ageless smile …”
