In his debut book of poetry, Why Now?, Neil Daswani takes you on an eclectic journey signposted by references to Norse and Greek mythology; poetry from the Tang dynasty; Buddhist philosophy and Korean phonetics; the power of wild nature; humour as well as grief and bereavement. His poems on Covid-19 search for hope in unity.
Very good collection! These poems play on rhyme and sound a lot. The topics are a little bit too abstract for my personal tastes but that's just me. I found the poems about covid more grounded and I liked them more.
