Blurb :
We are a species fueled by obsessions. Every human achievement, and every infamy, is the result of an obsession that tormented, possessed and consumed. This is a selection of poetry about solitude and other obsessions that have distracted, driven, destroyed and / or defined us. Spanning genres, styles, emotions, time & place, these works by a collective of 5 poets are a glimpse into the obsessions that have become us.
Review :
I'm not a big poetry reader , but this is one of the best book i have ever read.The book is a compilation of 73 brilliant and beautifull poems written by 5 different authors.The quality of writing is tremendous. Poems are dense and complex but absolutely stunning.The pages hold beauty, truth and a sly kind of humour.Each and every poem has light within its overwhelming darkness.Cover of the book colourfull and lively and title is apt. Uma's poems inclined towards nature and soldied , A soldier's life is my personal  favourite .Binod poem were reflective , Trupti's have love and social issues, Shruti's were full of life and Saurin's poems were full of wonder and on the top of it the paintings by Shripad Bhalerao compliments the book.
A must read book.
