Beyond Thorns by Mohineet Kaur Boparai (Hardcover)

Beyond Thorns is a poetic avowal of the fringe between the human world and nature. It goes beyond imagination into the realm of perception and existence itself. It is an endearing acceptance of sorrow that is ingrained in the being's interactions with nature. The poetry in this collection subsumes romantic and philosophical (almost prophetic) undertones, as it comes to grips with lived experiences of love, nature, and God. The poems dive subsurface and head-on into the world that forever evades understanding and attempts to emerge with whiffs of its scent while also with the knowledge that grasping the world is never possible. This book attempts to open the dark room of philosophy by engaging the senses but also by delving into the unconscious recesses of the poetic mind and an inner darkness of being. It is an attempt to see through the thick honey-like darkness of life and float a boat to the other side, into the domains of happiness and love.
