RHYTHM OF RUINS
Mukul Kumar
RHYTHM OF RUINS - 1 - Chandigarh Browser.org 2022 - 61
Poetry is truly said to be the rhythmical creation of beauty, a beauty that emanates from enchantment and hideousness, ecstasy and agony, castles and ruins. But the redemptive bliss from the poetic phenomenon of ruins assuming rhythm is a divine experience. As I present the work, my sensibility rings with the words of Oscar Wilde- 'The artist is the creator of beautiful things... No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist'. Mukul Kumar is a civil servant, novelist and poet. A 1997 batch Indian Railway Traffic Service officer, he is presently working in New Delhi. He has studied Humanities at Delhi University and Public Administration at Indian Institute of Public Administration, New Delhi. His published works include three novels, As Boys Become Men, Seduction by Truth and Aarzo-Arshan (e-book), and two poetry anthologies, The Irrepressible Echoes and Catharsis. Rhythm of the Ruins is his third poetry collection.
