My Love (Poems)

& Author The poet unfolds her mind and consciousness, and intimates her longing for a life of love, friendship and peace. The spiritual focus is clear. A Kolkata based poet, Navamalati captures the feelings of those moments of understanding. deep, dark and persuasive. The presence of her faith in Kali, has always been her strength. She isn't a feminist poet alone in the sense that, she knows that if there are Dushashans and ego-centric Ramachandra's or a male-chauvinist Ravana, there are also the sedate Sita and the assertive Draupadi and a determined Ahalya. Sucked into the vortex of a maelstrom in a society that is passing through a severe crisis, she finds the writing of poems engrossing and empowering. Perceptible to her marrow, she lives within her being the lives of the suffering women of the world. Not preachy, Navamalati lives through her poems. Poets must be invincible, if they hurt they must learn to accept it. Be strong, not sullen. The object of their love is sacred and their poems are a documentation of their existence. There is no other in the poet's being. Navamalati is the self, she knows that chaos is a part of life and hence a poet must be bold enough not to permit ideology and morality to go to sleep.
