Kavita Ka Amar Phal

Liladhar Jagudi believes that just as poetry first transformed prose into verse, modern times require a new prose that can give a new form to the richness of poetry. Jagudis collection of Kavita Ka Amar Phal is like a collection of modern folktales. Time and memory become inseparable. It seems as if memory itself is time, preserving fragments of events. The reappearance of seasons and vegetation is the annual rebirth of the memory of the earth and the universe. Sometimes, while reading his poems, it feels as if nothing is as old as the new. Any invention only serves to refine its established form. Reading his poetry, the reader gains the creative power to create many forms of language. Bhartrihari is at the root of the inspiration for these poems. How did that great poet make poetry possible? Many types of clouds reside in the sky; some drench the creation, while others thunder uselessly and depart. Similarly, poetic experiences are not all the same. Some bring their own craft and fiction. Life envelops Jagudis poems in the language of blood, like seeds sown in the soil of air, water, and fire. She molds the essence of dreams into the essence of words. The blood of experience flows through every word of these poems, spreading the rosiness of their meaning in ink-written words.
