“Poetry, if it has too many layers, should at least lead readers to the openings of the caves the poet built with words and then let them explore on their own! If it does not happen, the travellers might return even without knocking at all!”
Alok Mishra

“When poetry becomes synonymous with examination stress, it is unsurprising that readers abandon it once formal education ends.”
Alok Mishra

Alok   Mishra
“Poetry, today, is struggling for its space. Poets are writing poems. Readers are not reading poems. Other poets are reading other poets’ poems. They seldom like or appreciate what others write. Poetry, therefore, has turned itself into an unresolving cycle of paradox!”
Alok Mishra

“Time has wasted itself
doing absolutely nothing!
I only wish it could turn back
and bring
me another opportunity
to experience and see,
fathom and breathe,
live with her and leave
the world on its own,
that night of passionate solitude.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“Literary criticism must venture into the dark streets of the unconscious and the mildly lit subconscious of the characters and the authors. However, it must not ignore the aesthetic and the apparent value of a literary work.”
Alok Mishra
