City Times & Other Poems

Vihang Naik throws light on the life of a very large city in all its shades, glory and misery in City Times and Other Poems.It is an anthology of his intuitive and philosophical poems.The Poems are divided in 6 segments e.g. ‘Love Song of a Journey man’, ‘Mirrored man’, ‘The Path of wisdom’, Self portrait’, At the shore’, City times’. The segment titled ‘Self portrait’starts with a poem the diagrammatic sketch with 6 blank pages reader finds only 3 words at the tail-end of the page e.g. ‘discovered beyond thought’.The title of this collection is also the heading for the last of its six sections , in which the city is unfolded as a marketplace , as a heaven for underdogs , and as a seed bed of change and is observed at evening , at mid-night , by moon light and through fog and haze .The poet has something up his sleeve to say beyond the appearances.
