प्रलय में लय जितना

This anthology of poems by Ashok Kumar Pandey, a well known Hindi poet judged second most popular young poet by Tehalka, is an example of the dimensions that the new generation of youthful Hindi poetry is seeking to explore in the post liberalization Indian era. The poems are an expression of the commonest of the common man, his struggles, his aspirations and the story of the crash that he encounters in everyday life. The poet displays a deep empathy with his surroundings and deconstructs the propagated reality about the world. In a sensitive display of his urge to explore and understand the real in this world the poet finds himself in an umbilical relationship with the common man across the world and becomes one with the world that breathes down there on the periphery
