About The Book

What is Written in Stone?

A history of poetry spanning a lifetime of reflection. A collection of poems interwoven into a whole. A work in progress. A poetic testimony made under duress. A Tower of Babel with a babbling brook. A psychological profile of the poet. A philosophical debate. What the poet offers is a contradiction. Equal parts triumph and defeat. Should we care what a psycho-philosophical poet has to say? Who puts his trust in introspection? What is poetry today ?
