Life Trials

Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, like all romantic poets is in general a poet who is strong willed and intelligent and possesses a mind which is unusually subtle. While going through his poetry, and more so his nature-poetry, we come across nature sympathetically with unusual unrepudiable emotional response. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to the rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is simply desirous to associate with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses the scientific and religious notion, it purports to the metaphysical notion, which is adapted to the natural design of the cosmos. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees to the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of human generation. A ‘must read’ collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.
