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

“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
“No heartbreak can make a poet!
Poetry doesn’t stem from a broken heart
which fell apart
merely because someone left
and left a few marks to be felt,
dealt with and smelt
with emptiness and shallowness
of the breast.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

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

Alok   Mishra
“Poetry is frequently introduced as an object of dissection rather than an experience of encounter. Students are trained to hunt for metaphors, symbols, and devices before they are allowed to feel the poem. This premature intellectualisation breeds anxiety rather than appreciation.”
Alok Mishra
