Commentary
“Mukhopadhyay
writes in full bloom in utter celebration of the beauty of
nature. He is essentially romantic in spirit. Like Shelley
andWordsworth, he sees the mysterious divine force in the beauty
of nature which is rarely sung by the modern poets who aremostly
weaned away by the ugliness of the metropolitan life and social
issues.
~Dr. K.V.Raghupathi, "Brave New Wave- 21 Indian English Poets'”
These wonderful
poems are composed like an onomatopoeic song dedicated to
Nature's beauty. They reflex the sounds, rhythms, movements and
energy that flow freely on Natural world around humanity. The
author brings us to magic surroundings where we are forced to
observe, as he teaches us to do, the incredible harmony and
fantastic buildings of knowledge that hide in the Natural
outside. He makes us to understand the deep spirituality that
lives in Nature.
~Maria Cristina Azcona, "A Guide to Find Peace"
