Book of the Week: soap bubbles

K. Ramesh has an irrepressible childlike sensibility in his poems, evidenced in this, his first full-length collection (Red Moon Press, 2007), that reminds us that the world is only complicated through our making it so, and that there are rewards to our not doing so.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

New Year’s Eve —
a man digging a pit
strikes his shadow

drifting clouds —
the exam hall
bright sometimes

she says
life is . . .
as I pass by the couple
