Mantram Beach By Kumar, Arun

In this book, Arun Kumar offers a seer''s moving testament of hope in a time of precarious relationships, political upheaval, and Environmental degradation. In the title poem, "mainstream beach'', the rhythm of the ocean salves the suffering mind; in "the family'',ike refugees from the storm, we enter a serene Sanctuary; in "shwedagon Pagoda'', a timeless tranquillity permeates every aspect of the place that is being portrayed; in "Remembering'', the timeines and tumultuous of our world give way to a simpler time, a simple peace; in "gudalur, Nilgiris'', as the sun rises, the Dew dries out, and the bougainvilleasight up inilac and red. Elegant,uminous, stark, mantram beach is a superb collection of poems by a poet at the peak of his powers.
