“I Do Not Belong to April”- Review of Alleys are Filled with Future Alphabets By Gopal Lahiri

Abstract

In terms of Postmodern poetry, we have come a long way in transcending the fixities of border, spatial-temporal consistencies, and limitations in art. Knowing the praxis of modern and Postmodern poetry illumines how diverse art forms often juxtapose myriad human emotions with sliding instances of existential questions, identity formations and acceptance of alternative shelters across the world. Poet Gopal Lahiri’s book Alleys are Filled with Future Alphabets contains selected poems divided into multiple segments like ‘Voyages In’, ‘Voyages Out’, ‘Cityscape Silhouettes’, ‘Macrocosm’, ‘Haiku Series and Micro Poems’, ‘Travel Diaries’ and ‘Pandemic and Resilience’. Several theories of poetry highlight forms, content, emotions, sentiment and the cohesion of art and beautiful objects that stay forever through sublime poetic lines.
