you cannot find yourself until you find yourself lost... lost & found is a collection of poetry about love, loss, life, death, freedom, transformation and curiosity... the chapters alternate between losing and finding oneself in the varying facets of life in a bid to shake hands with the never-ending cycle of feeling hopelessly lost and feeling deeply found... prepare to be whisked away on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery... trudge through the muddy trials of infatuation to feel the electrifying spark of a lover, ascend to life's breathtaking wonders only to slip and stumble into the rawest moments of loss, and ultimately pave your way towards a path of tranquility by letting those words from within become engraved upon your soul...
He loves travelling, hiking and has a special place in his heart for The Lord of the Rings; the tale that opened his eyes to the beauty of storytelling.
lost & found is his first published work and is an exploration of his most curious thoughts...
RUN, DON'T WALK! And get yourself a copy of Lost and Found! I promise you won't regret it!
Have you ever travelled? Have you ever been in search for something? How did you feel when you reached your destination? How did you feel when you found what you were looking for?
Lost and Found will engage those emotions again, make you feel lost and in search of something more and then make you feel fulfilled, having found what was lost. Dedicated to his true love and illustrator of this book – Taranpreet Bajwa – Tony Dimrajian has crafted and curated a beautiful collection in which the reader can be lost amongst the pages but discover something new from the words.
'Don't count the days or miles
Count nothing but the smiles'
Separated into 6 themes, three of searching and three of finding, Dimrajian is able to tell a story of three vital components to ones being. The Lost collections - Love, Loss and Life - speak of pain, turmoil and fear. Whereas the Found collections - Fondness, Fate and Freedom - speak of hope, joy and togetherness.
'Apart we are just two sticks
Together we can start a fire'
This quote above truly epitomises the beautiful couple who created and made this book! Bajwa's stunning artistry brings to life Dimrajian's thoughtful words and I could not thank this beautiful couple enough for bringing their talents together to share this gift with us.
I read this book the moment I received it. Yes, in one hit with no breaks. And I've re-read it. And I'm reading now for the third time. And I think I'll continue to read it every chance I have for the rest of my life.
Filled with thoughtful insights, heartfelt confessions, and stunning illustrations, Lost and Found is truly a gift to my bookshelf and my soul.
I am so so proud of Tony Dimrajian and Taranpreet Bajwa for giving this book life and sharing it with the world!
