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

Alok   Mishra
“Only if I knew
that knowing it would bring
a burden I could seldom carry
and ferry among those I know,
only to be rejected.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“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

“Criticism that thrives on exaggeration or selective reading ultimately undermines its own credibility.”
Alok Mishra
