Characterization in Poetry: book review of Dr. Alok Kumar Ray’s poetry collection BADHULI by Sushant Thapa
“Badhuli is a flower (balsams) that represents the beauty and fragility of life. It is also about a daughter, how she transforms from being a child, sister, wife and mother. Roles keep skipping, but she is grounded, her self is so closely seen, she has an aura to light up the house where she goes. With love and compassion this book of lotus like verses captures the dew like life of ever glowing daughters.”
