Thematically, these poems by Jayan K. Nair move from the personal to the archetypal and to the social imagery. All through the poems the author maintains atragic tone; life’s harsh realities, both objective and subjective looms large on us,and our search for ideals, happiness, peace and positivity are smothered by them.Human misery and paradox of life are presented with a tinge of sarcasm and senseof helplessness. While teeming with modern imagery, these poems have a lyricalquality of their own.
