Wings of Freedom

Wings of Freedom by Papia Ray is a collection of poems written in different verse forms on varied subjects, objective and subjective.Nature, man, war, life, death, all find wings through the poet’s pen. Something as light as the ‘Bumble Bee’ or the mixed feelings of nostalgia in ‘The House’ or, the traumatic realization of ‘– the death of mighty Death’ in ‘Tread Softly’, or the bold and angry outburst in ‘Betrayal’, awakens a variety of emotions.Wings of Freedom has Nature’s inspirational presence throughout.As the book progresses from one poem to the next, the reader’s mind will flow like a meandering river, move to the rhythm of a flight where the bird perches for a second on a swaying branch before taking off again, or, sometimes, rise high like an oceanwave or, fall gently like a leaf to rest in the warmth of night’s ‘sweet embrace’.
