One of the hardest things to recognize about ourselves and the Universe around us is the natural way life finds balance. The lessons that balance brings us can be harsh at times, as it is when one life ends and another begins. Yet it can also showcase the beauty of life as well, as it does when a new life grows and blossoms into something full of love and kindness which the world so desperately craves. The need to come to terms with this natural balance is felt heavily throughout our lives, and only by accepting this can we hope to embrace all life has to offer.
In author and poet Maya Mitra Das’s Rhythms Primeval, the author explores the cosmic balance of ecstasy and despair through a series of poems in this brand-new collection. The poems tap into the concept of personal myth, exploring the depths of human loneliness and the healing power that love can have on our lives. Through these poems, the author hopes to explore the human condition through artistic and highly creative poetry which comes alive on the pages.
The author did an incredible job of crafting a collection which felt both refreshing and heartfelt in its delivery. The vivid imagery the author brought to each poem made the collection feel alive and as powerful as nature itself. The emotional core of each poem felt like something readers would resonate with, and the powerful way each poem evoked these emotions was captivating to behold. The infusion of the author’s multi-cultural journey in life was extraordinary, and made for a heartfelt and memorable reading experience.
This is the perfect read for those who enjoy poetry, especially poetry that includes cultural and thematic stories within each poem. As a fan of the genre, I was amazed at the personable way the author wrote this journey and made readers feel connected to both the reader’s experiences and the emotions that each poem evoked.
Heartfelt, captivating, and engaging, author Maya Mitra Das’s Rhythms Primeval is a must-read collection of poetry. The spectrum of emotions the poems evoke feel both personal and cosmic in nature, delving into the author’s culture and the human experiences that keep us connected at all times.
