The title of this book needs a word of linguistic justification. Grammatically the term 'seldom' is an adverb of time. But it has been freed from the shackles of grammar, and used as a pluralized noun to underscore the significance of the untrodden poetic nuances and style adopted and stitched like a running thread into the poems, assorted here. The range of the poems roams ramblingly through sundry contemplations of the poet. The object-referents to the poet's thought process are variegated, gently swaying from contemporary issues to classical archetypes of self-quest, love and its primal manifestations, and god-contemplation. Tonally there are wide variations, from genial humour and satire to deep involvement in an observed phenomenon, to the point of empathy. The poems will hopefully stir the soul of a reader and make him rethink over accepted myths and motifs.
Dr Jay Sankar Basu
Dr Jay Sankar Basu, currently working as Associate Professor of ELT in a Premier State University, is a published author. He pens his poems in the name of Jay Basu. His poetic vision encompasses a wide and uneven terrain. Where there is a murmur of sufferings, drops of tear or of yellowing leaf, he loves to dwell there, often with an undertone of satire or with philosophical overtones. At times we see in his poetry the footprints of eternity.
