"These poems - poems of passion - are ecstatic celebrations of life through love. Love, in these poems, unleashes a metaphoric journey, ennobled by the unstinted sanctimony of a pilgrimage. This journey or pilgrimage has no end. It is eternal. It is strange. It is startlingly, and at times, shockingly mysterious. It involves both body and spirit or soul. It sways between the temporal and the timeless, between whatever is moral and whatever is immortal. It enlivens, ennobles us to know, feel and fathom the unfathomable, immeasurable depth of life. It strengthens us to bear the burden of mortality, to consume the sting of fleeting nature of time. Sangram Jena tries to capture the true meaning and rhythm of life by coming to terms with life through love." (jacket)
