This collection of twenty-six poems are bonded by passion and knowledge, and imaginations invoked which represent the vastness of the human society: pictures of history, tributes to courageous writers, the beauty of landscape, the indebtedness to folklore and oral traditions, and the spontaneity of silent aspirations. Written from a variety of perspectives, the collection is organized thematically dealing with emotions and passions, in voices that addresses both public and private concerns. The collection conjures a universal and human vision of poetry, constructing and opening doors of memory.
