Critics Speak:It is in the very simplicity of his verse that this poet often shines, but he does not restrict himself to any particular form or style, nor can his work be said to be of a stereotyped nature. There is a strong sense of presence in his actual choice of imagery. Within this collection I was delighted to find a superbly -crafted Villanelle; there is, too, a creditable early attempt at another French form, the Rondeau. Furthermore, in other areas of his work there is a distinctly surreal flavor, more usually ascribed to modernism.Bernard M. Jackson, EnglandKargil, by the editor of esteemed literary journal Cyber Literature consists of forty three poems and marks an interesting and impressive debut. Khatri is not afraid to address the important issues that confront any contemporary Indian writer, but does so with a directness and simplicity that strives to avoid mere rhetoric. His talent is to be able to involve the reader at a personal level and at his best, does this with clarity and grace. Khatri's great strength, abundantly revealed in this collection, is that he is no empty polemicist but a genuine poet who can turn straight forward phrases into something both particular and universalMichal Paul Hogan, EnglandAbout the PoetC.L.Khatri is a well known Indian English poet, reputed and perceptive critic and editor of Cyber Literature and of several anthologies of criticism.
