Lanterns in the Sky & other poems Keya Jadhav

With Pride and Immense joy, I am introducing a savoury collection of poems by Keya Jadhav, covering an entire gamut of emotions ranging from youthful fervour to mature recollection in tranquillity. I am honoured to write this foreword to the Anthology of poems written by young budding artist. Each poem comes up as a sensitive and brilliant blue print of life, free of any false pretension. In all the poems, without exception, one can seek sheer aesthetic joy. The effortless use of powerful imagery, symbols, synecdoche, irony, paradox and rhetoric speak volume about this. Young dynamic poet. Above all, the subtle and sublime side of catharsis as a mode of cleaning is commendable. In poet's sincere passion bubbles forth in simple yet effective words budding from intense awareness. Each poem. Smacks of fine frenzy with practice freedom. The strong poetic insight is inextricably woven into the text of each poem. Behind each poem one can visualize. Social thinker and a staunch reformist. As a literary Critique and an ardent lover of creative writing, I have intense pleasure in recommending her poems and inviting all the readers to savour the scrumptious treat. Beneath the seeming conflicts and contradictions of the mind, there is an inherent note of positivity in most of the poems. May her endeavour be crowned with success.
