Unburdening A Burden

'Unburdening a Burden' is a bouquet of 121 devotional sonnets written in simple yet graceful language which hitherto remains unparalleled in the history of English literature for its exquisite beauty, quaint whimsicality and richness of illustration. The style in which the book is written is a model of lucidity and order and the language employed exhibits a chiselled excellence and a well-trimmed form. The emotions expressed in the book are garbed in rich and graceful drapery of apposite language. There is natural grace, classical elegance and pleasing beauty of description. Every word expresses with directness and vividness what is there in the writer's mind. The work has rational cadence, a super-abundant wealth of words and superfluous ornaments. There is irresistible charm of congruity and magnificent evocation transfused with sublimity. Its expository and ratiocinative approach is inimitable. Clarity of thought and felicity of expression adds a deeper crimson to the blooming rose of the work.

Raghav Dwivedi born in a small and little-known village Kunwarpur Basith of Hardoi district in U.P. (India) is an agriculturalist by profession. He is as much proud of his being a farmer as he is of his being a devotee of Lord Shri Ram. A true inheritor of his pedigree, he has been bequeathed with profound devotion and an unflinching faith in the lotus-feet of Lord Shri Ram. Carrying forward the rich legacy and varied heritage of his forefathers, he is engaged in cultivating not only crops but also devotional poems both in English and Hindi. His writing resembles nobody, he belongs to no school and he has founded none. He is a school in himself. His style has an incomparable ease, spontaneity and transparent simplicity. His diction is chaste and carefully selected. His words are clear and concise where arguments are necessary, musical and haunting in the passages of tenderness, buoyant and jaunty under the impulse of humour, picturesque and vivid in description, racy and precise in dialogues and stately in philosophic and meditative moods. A perennial charm and freshness always surrounds his poems.
