The poems capture myriad moments and emotions… love, loss, memories, bonding, friendships, recollections of beauty, ruminations about nature, nostalgia, regrets, all that is missing, everything lilting and melodious that crowds the mind of a poet comes together to paint Maria’s canvas of pages in a spontaneous outpouring of lyrical poetry that is modern and yet so rich, old and timeless in its thousand shades of feelings, realisations and emotions.
