Vanished Reality and Other Poems Tapeshwar Prasad

The anthology Vanished Reality and Other Poems is startlingly artistic in emotional endowments, poetic materials, in style and ability, and in structure and texture to reveal innate literary distinction and touch the heart of the readers for a perspective view of life through poetry. The poet possesses the perfect instrumenthis virtuoso language. His poetry bears on existential gravitas. The author seems to dovetail his subtle, objective, ethical ideas and thoughts in his heartfull subjective feelings and emotions, and he presents them on a pheromonous platter of perfumed and glittering potentialities. Intertwined with the words are cosmic truths. The meanings are besides the words and behind the lines and under the slippers. An enchanting illusion and delusion hallucinates the reader and keeps him mesmerized, albeit saner and wiser. Simple and concrete, thoughts and ideas interlaced and intertwined with deep philosophical certitude keep the readers entangled and enthralled, bound with amazement with the tapestry of playing existentialism and haunting individualism. Verse with verve. The ideas that the words and the poems convey are sacrosanct as they are both jettisoned, felt and followed. Only with regret could a genuine reader and connoisseur pass but casually over such a rare and unique vibrating book and literary bonanza.
