LOVE, a unique poetry collection by poet Arbind Kumar Choudhary, emerges as a great work of art that abides by Keatsean romantic doctrine to its utmost degree. The elements of Keatsean sensuousness, flight of imagination, philosophy of love, nature, and poetry, pictorial painting, classical traits, romantic content, lyrical outbursts, and subjectivity embellish this book to the core.

It is deeply gratifying to notice that the Keatsean fragrance permeates throughout this book, galvanizing readers and helping them resonate with it. The poet’s innate ability and scholarly understanding bridge the cultural gap between Indian, Greek, and Roman mythical messiahs. The blending of Indian mythical gods and goddesses with their Greek and Roman counterparts adds additional beauty and divine charm to all the poems enshrined in this anthology, while the dazzling pictorial painting of the erogenous zones of the fair sex makes the poet stand apart. The immortal love episodes of Sita-Ram, Radha-Krishna, Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranjha, and others will continue to enchant readers through time.

Nature is the universal code of conduct for all living beings on this earth. Majuli, the Prayag of Assam, where the junction of the Brahmaputra, the Tuni, and the Swarnasiri attracts tourists from all corners of the world, offers glimpses of roaring clouds, chirping birds, flowing rivers, green trees, and more. Suffering is one of the mysteries of the universe. The mind and spirit of man advance when tried by suffering. All these themes are evidently covered in this book. It is an excellent specimen when it comes to heart-warming phrases. Some of the explored phrasal words—full-throated perverse, sworn friend, etc.—new words—Ramariam, lovearium, loveology, etc.—compound words, and colloquial words certainly make this anthology the first choice for readers in search of verses couched in sublime language.

Love has several hues and shades. Defining its different dynamics is certainly a daunting task, but the author must be praised for dealing with the theme of love in a quite engaging manner. Love undeniably is the universal gift of God that gives divine bliss to all creatures in general and human beings in particular. It germinates and blossoms in the pure psyche rather than elsewhere. Loveless life is worse than a curse. Love is the fragrance of life. Like Keats, the poet paints a dazzling picture of the erogenous zones of the fair sex in this rhymed quatrain of Love in this collection. As a lover of nature and its glittering objects, the poet paints a painterly picture that elicits not only his poetic philosophy of nature but also its beauty, eternal source of pleasure, and wisdom for poetry aficionados around the world. LOVE is an unparalleled jewel of Indian English verses that entices many versifiers to seek a draught of his poetic nectar. It is certainly a must-read at all times and in all places.
