THIS IS THE FIFTH COMPILATION OF DR. JOY T. KUNJAPPU'S POEMS IN ENGLISH. EXTINCTION BRINGS OUT ULTIMATE SILENCE. STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE PRECEDES EXTINCTION AND IS NOT A MERE DARWINIAN THEORISM. MANY BUDDING IDEAS SHED EXPRESSIONLESS AND RESOUND THROUGH CYCLIC EPISODES. THESE POEMS RECAST EXPERIENTIAL WISDOM INTO PHILOSOPHICAL PILLARS. LIGHT FROM THE POWER SOURCE OF RUMINATIONS CASTS IMPRESSIONISTIC IMAGES WHILE LESS-CHEWED NARRATIVES FILL A NOVEL CANVASS. THESE POEMS MAY BE PUSHING OUT BEYOND LIMITS OUR SENSICAL APERTURE THROUGH CONCOCTED DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACTIONISM WITHOUT BEING ALLOWED TO SETTLE BEYOND ABSTRACTIVE DESCRIPTORS.
