Reflections

Extracts from a few reviews of Vimal’s poetry

“ I read a few of Vimal’s poems and met  the lost ascetic of Abhinav Gupta’s times who carried with him a pot full of nectar of self-containment. I sang a few of his verses and an illuminating path took me to the land of intoxicating tunes. I danced with them…”

                              

                                     Amrita Pritam, the Indian Punjabi poet of international fame.

               

 “Vimal’s poems are thought-provoking……..It is the saga of our age…….These poems have universal appeal…………”

                               

                                   Dr Jamsheed M Danish, a Canada-based literary commentator.

“Satish’s poems are the poems of all times. These poems establish my conviction that modern India has more literary freshness than many others. These poems lead us to a very fertile poetic genius.”

                                 Patricia M, the American poet and critic.

I read English translation of Vimal’s poems and felt the taste of the original. I found very powerful pieces of creative symbolism. Many of his poems have the potential to remain valid and meaningful in future also.”

                                

                               Prof Shrikanth Pillai, literary critic and translator.

“Vimal’s The Road is a very impressive philosophical piece with poetic freshness and virginity of expression. The poem carries a hidden lyricism throughout that ornaments the blank verse.”

                               

                 Jayant Mahapatra, the veteran Indian English poet and critic on the poem The Road.
