Dancing on Broken Lines

Dancing on Broken Lines connotes a difficult experience. In a
real world, it can be equated to a magician staging his gimmicks on
broken wires or strings, but even in that allusion it isn’t as simple.
This collection of poems has much in common with the author’s
first poetry collection, Echoes of Tired Men. In the two, one would
have expected feeble and forced lines of a starter poet but far
from this, the energy and exactness of words prove that the poet
has aged his craft. What is disturbingly beautiful is that this new
collection seems to follow its predecessor so effortlessly like they
are different but one, with the same honesty in word choice yet
exploring new dimensions.
Dancing on Broken Lines explores many experiences which
include family conflict, economic hardships, misuse of power,
betrayal, among others. In this deliberate presentation, one can
easily see the role of parents in proper upbringing of children,
and what likely goes wrong or makes one strong when one parent
abandons their responsibility.
