Poetry is, at its best, a method of conveying deep philosophies, through
as few words as possible. Devendra Bisaria does this simply and well,
tearing free of the constraints of rhyme, infusing insightful thoughts into
his poems through his interplay of words. The poem Antithesis is but one
example of what can be done by a poet who knows his craft. Do check this book out.

Ramachandra Series, Suhaldev, Dharma and Immortal India. Diplomat, Columnist, described by BBC as “India’s Tolkien”.
……to my eyes, his poems appear to be small gems
MANI SHANKAR AIYAR
author of several books including Confessions Of A Secular Fundamentalist.
Diplomat, Minister, Member of Parliament, Columnist.
In an impressive debut as a poet, Devendra Bisaria, tackles head-on, the
‘hard to handle’ emotional and sensual footage between lovers. He
achieves this without resorting to the maudlin. He guides the reader
through his realm of imagination and its often trance like imagery: ‘A
Kingdom on Stilts’, sojourns of the sky contemplated by a cast of
characters, the unexpected colour of somnolence or even the still-life of a
ketchup bottle. Once sucked in … you do not want this saucy dream to
end …
NEIL DASWANI
