Ari Levitt

A Passage (almost) To India Ari Levitt

This richly descriptive and narrative poem, born from a four-hour wait at the Embassy in Singapore where the author went to apply for a three-day travel visa to India, describes one man's journey of mind across a pallet of 'East-meets-West' emotions and experiences as he patiently waits the granting of the document, only to realize that the experience itself may be the closest thing he will ever come to the heart of India. Beautifully written by a masterful writer, the poem is rife with evocative imagery, transformative language, and an overarching concept and thought-process that provides the reader a wonderful journey of mind to embark upon themself. Enjoy!
