Leaves, Lessons and Longings (Edition1st)

To the quiet memories, the loud silences, and ineffable emotions, this book is for you. Iff you've ever felt profoundly, loved fiercely, or broken beautifully, thse words are yours. This ink is also spilled for the readers of truth in trees, seekers of wisdom in verse, and the art of language.

Once ensconced in the cloistered halls of the University of Jammu as a researcher and presently entrusted with the pedagogic stewardship of English literature, the author navigates the, poetic realm not as a visitor but as an inhabitant. Poetry, for him, has long been a spectral companion. Though this tome marks his inaugural foray into the formal publishing world, his communion with verse predates the ink. The cadences of his language, annealed through years of rigorous grappling with thought and text, betray a meticulous craftsmanship.
