Chrome Red is a beautiful series of poems showing rarely found depth and resonance covering a wide range of topics, dealing with the nature of human experience, life, love and beauty.

Poetry is a many-sided art. Its media being language, it communicates ideas, feelings, impressions. It is also related to music & thus often like music become unconcerned with the imitative description of the world. Lyrical poetry deals with verbal music & no wonder that finest poetry in many languages is thus created.

Poetry is a heightened awareness, which comes in rare moments but often you have to work on it, to seize that moment, in a juxtaposition of words & feelings. That is the reason that craftsmanship in poetry is important, to transform raw material into a finished product.

Most of us act from a narrow point of view, which I call, the programmed living. In the struggles of life, we tend to protect our little ego against the onslaught of the world and its collective forces. In the end it becomes our habit as just to isolate ourselves, in a protective cocoon. This is the function of poetry to break it in order to reach out for an energetic activity of soul.

Durlabh Singh’s poetry is created when his mind wanders into multiple realms of being. In human context it brings out pathos of emotions, lyrical love, dark tragic tales, an assemblage of myths and the past. In that country of living souls, chosen words take on a new significance.

Poetry is a window through which we communicate with the outside world. It becomes a two way process when the readers also extend their arms to touch you, to create an interactive process.

One thus become a spiritually creative being but in order to be creative, the reader needs not be a creative artist or a poet oneself but must be able to participate meaningfully in the original process of creation. Thus taking part in that creative process, one affirms oneself and takes on that courage of Being which in itself is a vast unexplored territory. Thus poetry is indispensable for living a genuine life.
