Ambika Ananth on "Moving On"

"The intensity, force, depth and lucidity of Anand Vishwanadha's poems defy the fact that "Moving On" is a debut collection. His poetry shows a contemporary sophistication in expression and imagery (truly characteristic of his poetic sensibility), yet sometimes symbolizes frailty , vulnerability and uncertainty – the absolute human side.

Adopting the techniques of allusiveness and multi-layered irony, he chronicles the the poignancy of love and mundane twists and turns of life, to convey his pertinent questions on and about life.

His poems -

convey empirical truths in words of elemental simplicity,

have philosophical mysteries ventilated from within,

are compellingly different, refusing to get tied down by conformist principles.

Some poems have a sense of movement , yet with a sort of rootedness and depth of thought – they justify the title – Moving On."

- Ambika Ananth, Chief Editor, Muse India

Thanks Ambika Ji!
