Introduction

This book contains sixty-five poems selected from many poems written by Jiten Borkakoti during 1964 and 2011. It is hoped that people from all walks of life will enjoy reading the poems that deal with human emotions of love in its multifarious dimensions, and also with the wider questions of human existence and timeless eternity.

Title and Themes

Hence, the title of the book aptly is Love & Life. Some poems are relatively more abstract than others, but abstraction helps to capture emotional depth and intensity.

Poetry as Art

A poem in the last analysis is a painting of a thought painted in words.
