Misadventure

The poems included in the poetry collection reveal the subtle sense of the mystery, beauty and love for the elemental simplicity of life. It is quite remarkable that the poet has discarded the obsolete or worn-out phraseology. The poems are endowed with intense imagination, dreamy grace and subtle suggestion. All these poems become quite charming due to 'maturity, manifested in technique, of feeling in relation to thought'.
