Thoughts, Themes and Images (Paperback)

This is a collection of poems written by Preethi Govindaraj. Preethi’s poems cover a range of ideas, deeply personal emotions, random musings, and insightful commentary on social and current-day issues, some of which are reflected in the accompanying paintings. The collection of more than one hundred and fifty poems reflects the depth and range of her poetic mind and imagination.

The book is full of surprises – love, suffering, chuckles, serious social commentary are brought together like a quintessential Indian curry. Preethi’s poems examine the mundane and the sublime with equal honesty, sincerity, and zeal. Something in this potpourri of reflections on family, festivals, relationships, nature and the changing seasons, and serious social issues should appeal to every poetry lover.
