In his first poetry volume, internationally renowned publisher Naveen Kishore has produced a collection of poems that, with compassion, protest societys cruelty. Throughout Knotted Grief, Kishore lays bare the nature of our outer and inner realities, using striking symbolism to reveal what humans are capable of doing to each other. The early part of the collection, Kashmiryiat, is a visceral monument to shadows, widows and unlived lives, constructed with one hundred and five stanzas. By depicting large-scale human tragedies and familiar habits fast forward into a dream / I fail to swipe my screen the poet tests himself, and us.
