PREFACE
There is a palpable push of imagery to non self limits in the flow of the poems. This is a poetic story that tries to wave through a particularized circumstance without neglecting the on-goings of the environment surrounding the poet as at the time of the writing of the book.
The title GET THE WAY
is chosen with a sense of economy of titles coupled with a due accord to a rising demand for brief, and imaginative as well as emotional description of events from an insightful point of view. The long flow of poems respect the title get the way
from multiple approaches and dimensions but not without considering the poets world views, destinies, hopes and aspirations.
There is a decisive inclination at applied reasoning with beautified meaning rather than a mechanical input of rhymes and inevitable literary devices detectable
