BROKEN BRICKS (Color edition)

As the title suggests, this anthology of Jay Basus poems assort broken pieces of his thoughts and sensations. But a deeper dip into the apparently fragmented pieces will unveil a conceptual thread stitched across the poems. It is the poets preponderant quest and anst for cohering the splinters of human experience of life or of living on a rough and uneven terrain. Added to this quest is a longing, sometimes overt, at other places subtle and covert, for transcending the space-time matrix to reach out to eternity. Archetypally, Jay Basus poetry registers the impression of an agonized journey to an unreachable ocean of love and timelessness.
