Echoes of a Soul

About the Book

Echoes of a soul, is a collection of poems that describe life in its variety of colours and textures. From the changing of the seasons to the evolution of other life forms as seen in the socio political culture and the fallen human condition, all woven together in rich metaphor of plants, gardens, fruit, etc. While the poems evoke an in-expressible sense of longing for a better state of affairs as currently experienced, they nevertheless acknowledge some present good that may still be existent in the imperfect status quo and thus invoke hope for a better future. In that sense the author is not hopeless about the future, even as he is not satisfied with the present.
