With the myriad subjects addressed, there is something for everyone in Girish Koilarys debut poetry collection. Whether its the power of fire or something more emotional, readers can relate to a shared plight. Even if we come upon something unfamiliar, we learn and move forward. Told with brevity and wit, Koilary proves poems of few words can be incredibly powerful. He tackles the day-to-day truths that are often forgotten in the hustle and bustle. He discusses the negative consequences of anger and the necessity to fight back against corruption. He focuses on the human condition, as evidenced in his poem Conscious: It is consciousness that make us weep. Our subconscious minds are alert even when we sleep. It is consciousness that makes us feel sorry And even over small things, makes us worry. It is consciousness that makes us aware of our responsibilities. It is this abstract thing that enhances our abilities. It is consciousness that pricks us when we do wrong And hence to rectify it, we always do throng. While some poems emphasize the negative aspects of humanity, others celebrate education and enumerate the benefits of exercise. Touch upon basic human needs like food or fire but also delve into the philosophical need to master our own fates. With topics ranging from his mother to alcoholism, love to blood, My Poems is an eye-opening reminder that were different and yet the same.
