Romance Over Coffee (Poems)

These poems voice hope, hope that shines through all the dreariness and langour, all the melancholy and weariness that one encounters every day. Rathore's debut collection add to the oeuvre of Indian poetry in English. -----Dr. Jaydeep Sarangi, A noted bilingual poet, Critic and Principal, New Alipore College, Kolkata Musical and rhythmic effects woven through rich patterns of alliteration, recurrent patterns of sounds, Internal rhyme and onomatopoeia run through the poems-which are dreams without seams to use the poet's own voicing. The poems abound in aphoristic and epigrammatic expressions and Idioms to articulate the poet's experiences in an innate, intimate and Intriguing way accentuating human values in life. ------ Dr. Praveen Mirdha
