Excerpt from Foreword
"Arneeb Mahbub’s versatility is clearly reflected in his poems ranging from satirical to serious, marmoreal to kinetic. His poetry is elegant, sharp-eyed, and witty. He speaks of matters dear to us, in our private and public selves. He sees the making of poetry as an act of reconciliation, where he experiments, wrestles, and shapes with language and its meanings. It is an act of love, and he eloquently draws a magic circle of understanding and transcendence, where poet and readers alike may find the ‘Higher Entities’: “The stars complete an endless race./ That travels across the sea./ Of that which is between the two./ Mixes imperfectly. The solemn sun unseals the seal./ Turning dark quickly into night./ The stars and sea, their faces grey./ Submits not without a fight...”
This collection of forty poems gives the reader a taste of his innovative, as well as traditional, poetic creation. I am confident that Arneeb Mahbub’s poetry will find the larger audience it deserves."
