Commentary
What is most
remarkable about P. K. Padhy’s poetry is his ability
to express so much by saying so little. The Tiny Pebbles
exhibits his
aphoristic style, in which he succinctly captures both the
beauty and grace of everyday life and the socioeconomic
injustices suffered by the oppressed and underprivileged.
