Moving for Moksha
Moving for Moksha is the second poetry collection by Indian English poet and author Alok Mishra. This is a collection that mainly has philosophical poems having multiple dimensions and varied interpretations. The poems talk about life, love, loss, gain, pain, pleasure and realisation that wakes up a person and sets him on the path of Moksha. Hindu philosophy can be seen embedded in the text and references often appear in the poems that take the readers to ancient Indian scriptures and body of religious texts. Here are some reviews: The collection of poems takes us on a journey to ponder the truth and fallacies of life that come our way. The poems are mostly mystic in nature, having more than what it seems to be... you will certainly love it if you have a taste for English poetry. by: Amit Mishra (founder of The Indian Authors & Indian Book Lovers) ...beauty, truth, eternity.... a very close observation of life, these poems sneak into nothing but the philosophy of life that people confront during life-span. by: Ravi Kumar, Research Scholar with expertise in Indian English Literature, a writer for many online literary platforms The poems reflect disillusion, rejection, realisation and answer to the final call – Moksha, as called in Indian philosophy. The innovative form with a 4-3-6 pattern looks very apt for the emotional and intellectual and also cryptic nature of the poems in this collection. The Last Critic
