ABOUT THE BOOK

Horizoning Bonsai:
An Assemblage of Time, Silence and Survival

It’s not simply a collection of poetry—it is a meditation on the passage of time, the silence surrounding human history, and the struggles of survival in a world that often feels unforgiving and chaotic…………
Its a Journey Through Time :
Time in ‘Horizoning Bonsai’ is not linear but fluid, fluctuating between the present and future without wistful yearning or reverence for the past……..
History as a Nightmare :
Here jokes are tragic histories. This collection rings with the tone of sad irony that underlines our mundane continuance…..
Silence and the Poetic Form:
The structure of these poems gives voice to silence, a significant element that works beneath and between the lines. What is left unsaid by the poet often speaks louder than what is articulated…… Maybe, it is in silence that the power of the black ink on white paper becomes evident…….
Oppression and Endurance:
At its core, it is an assemblage that speaks about survival, not just of individuals but of cultures, histories, and imagination…..
Metaphors of Hope and Resistance:
Metaphors of hope and resistance abound in the collection……
A Poetic Manifesto for our Time :
Horizoning Bonsai is a poetic manifesto of our time addressing the complexities of history, dominance, and hope. These poems inspire the reader to engage with the world not as passive net potatoes but as active participants in designing their future. The collection’s vivid imagery and thoughtful use of poetic form create a rich, immersive experience that toggles between the singular and the universal….
Like his earlier collections, the poems in Horizoning Bonsai take the photographic images as springboards into poetic narrations. Motivated by visuals selected from the cyber world and printed media, Subhash invents a unique method of transfiguring them into the creative domain.…..
