In the realm of poetry, the power to express complex emotions discreetly finds its resonance, and in the book “Lucid Road,” poets Divya Narang and Navdeep Singh take readers on a profound journey through the tapestry of their emotions and ideas. The collaboration of these two poets results in a collection that not only conveys the lessons learned from life but also explores the nuances of falling and bouncing back, intricately woven into the theme.
The Essence of Expression:
For Narang and Singh, poetry is a natural form of expression. It’s a medium that allows them to shed light on intricate emotions in a subtle yet impactful manner. The poems in “Lucid Road” carry the authenticity of genuine expression, reflecting the unfiltered emotions that inspired their creation.
Themes Rooted in Life’s Flow:
This book is a collection of poems written by two friends who composed these poems over the years, scribbling down their emotions triggered by various unrelated events. When they shared these poems with each-other recently, quite a few of their poems seemed to have a dialogue, which formed the initial inspiration for this book. As they began to put a collection together, it flowed like a story and hence took the form of this book. The authors invite you to take a walk down this lucid road created from an anthology of poems and hope the readers discover their own.
Balancing Meaning and Interpretation:
Navigating the delicate balance between conveying intended meanings and allowing room for individual interpretation, the poets employ titles and images strategically. Each poem is a part of a larger conversation, yet it stands alone as a piece of art, inviting readers to interpret and connect on a personal level.
Crafting the Musicality of Language:
The musicality of the language in “Lucid Road” is not a result of deliberate crafting; it is an organic manifestation of the emotions encapsulated in each verse. The poems, like melodies, resonate with the inherent rhythm of life, creating an immersive experience for readers.
Personal Journey as Inspiration:
The poets acknowledge that their personal journeys and backgrounds play a significant role in influencing the themes and imagery within their poetry. “Lucid Road” becomes a reflection of their experiences, a canvas where personal narratives blend seamlessly with universal emotions.
Poetry as Commentary and Reflection:
An inclination towards using analogies and metaphors sets the tone for the poets’ approach to commentary and reflection on the world around them. Each poem becomes a lens through which readers can perceive the complexities of the world, interpreted through the poets’ unique perspectives.
Writing Rituals and Natural Expression:
Unlike adhering to specific rituals, Narang and Singh let poetry flow naturally. Their creativity is not confined by routines; instead, it blossoms spontaneously, shaped by the situations and moods that inspire the verses.
