Eternity Is a Dew Drop

Small poems leave large spaces unfilled and larger silences unxpressed. Poetry of spiritual contemplation and romantic half-truths often come in this category. ‘Eternity is a dew drop’ is a collection of such small poems by Sai Sasmita Dash which fall somewhere within this spectra. The lyrical soul of these nuggets would expect from its readers a sensibility that is unsullied by modernist apologies. Sometimes in prayer-like whispers and sometimes in breathing undertones of stifled longings, these poems leave the reader asking for more. In fact, one who is destined to love is also ordained to leave her story half-uttered !
