All That Remains, All That Remains

All That Remains explores our frailty in various forms - physical, emotional, spiritual - as we march onwards to the drumbeat of time. Some poems are reflections on quiet yet devastating moments of clarity, of the sort that mark turning points in our lives. Some are musings of an outsider staring at familiar surroundings in disbelief. Others are attempts to find meaning and fulfilment in the dreamscape of the modern world, while grappling with the question of what it takes to lead a good life. Drawing them all together is the author's conviction that language is music, that words have a meaning defined not only by dictionaries but also by their rhythm, melody and counterpoint.
