Details: Who put LAUGHTER in SLAUGHTER ? is a fascinatingly clever compendium of 20 lucid yet profound verses that boldly tread the untrodden in terms of both theme and form. It features traditional structures like sonnets, ballads, limericks and rhymed pieces in addition to modern renditions and experiments such as free verses, palindromic poems, abecedarian and word sonnets. Containing pieces like “The Man-eater of Sunderban”, “The Perfect Wife”, “The Emperor of Ice Cream”, “The Legend of Red Anemones”, “Fall” etc., this highly perceptive book does not limit itself to any one theme but straddles across subjects that should make a human reflect and think hard. Like its title, the book asks difficult questions, challenges the norm, connects disparate planes for fresh diverse perspectives and holds an unbiased mirror in front of humanity ; however neither does it impose optimistic viewpoints and readymade solutions on its readers, nor sells happily ever after endings. It sure offers hope to those looking for it, but not without reminding them to acknowledge and understand the shackles that bind them to their realities. Furthermore, included in the book is the author’s rationale and inspiration behind every poem to aid the readers in shaping their own interpretations.
