Book Description
Jacaranda is a genus of forty-nine flowering plants which were once native to the Americas but now has a cosmopolitan distribution. Its literal meaning is "aroma" or "fragrance". Besides being one of the favourite flowers of the person the author dedicated this book to, the author wants to illustrate why he chose this name for this work of poetry. In his own words, "There are an additional two reasons behind the nomenclature. Jacaranda's perfume, you see, their aroma is not too heavy, with just a slight tinge of sweetness. That's what Nature is often in its true self. It's fallen leaves narrate an earthly honey smell, it's the little jest that Earth plays on you, which makes you smile and look forward for the coming days". Asked for the second reason, the author quipped "I want to look forward for the coming months, my 50th book, one more that the current bouquet Jacaranda has to offer", as he smiled. This work of poetry is differentiated into three sections, namely redrawn, reunion, and reading the diary. The poems blend the influences of the old masters from the Victorian era, the era of English-Language modernism and also certain musical forms of vocal deliveries which are often over a backing beat. Redrawn consists of poems on a diverse variety of themes, which were written in a wide span of time. reunion encompasses the poetic interpretation of the author when he had a reunion with his friends from school, to them he dedicated those poems. Finally, reading the diary is the poetic reincarnation of the author's diary from the year 2007, which he covers meticulously for a month. Along with the pertinent date for each poem, every day's entry in the diary also get an unique name of their own. Hope you enjoy the read!
