Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
This is my fifth collection of poems. The seventy one poems in this book are divided into two sections. The first section has just eight poems, all written based on well-known paintings. They are therefore called Ekphrastic poems. Seven of them were written for a twenty-poem-challenge run by a Canadian on-line magazine in 2015, by invitation. If I remember right, two or three of them were adjudged the best among all the entries they received and the title poem, ‘Perfect Assertion’, is one such. All the poems are accompanied by their respective paintings. The second section carries poems written during the years, 2018 and 2019.
