“Light and Shadow” is a collection of remarkable poems that examines various poetic themes, including love, beauty, emotion, nature, loneliness and nostalgia. The poet’s creative process has been amply demonstrated in the language chosen, the imagery, inherent rhythms, and indigenous sounds that provide a level of easy understanding.
Some of the narrative voices convey feelings of detachment with themselves, with others, and with the world in time and space. However, blending does occur for ephemeral moments through the use of shining metaphors and carefully polished imagery.
“Light and Shadow” incorporates a variety of forms and subjects; above all, the language is original and engaging. This poetry collection is different from the earlier ones ‘Flicker of Hope’ and ‘Sandstone Corridor’ (published from Lulu). The poems depict the lively interplay of light and shadow filter into the life frame and take the readers to a journey of pleasure, delight and surprise.

"A BEAUTIFUL MAN WHO WRITES WITH ALL HIS SENSES"
GOPAL is one of just a handful of LULU poets whose work I always make it a point to look at on a daily basis when I am posting some new work of my own on THE POETRY CORNER. His work there (as well as here) is enlightening and magical, indeed. He sees The World as it really is and as it could be with every one of his senses and you will be able to see Mother Earth this way too simply by reading and meditating on his poetic words which are lovely and powerful, indeed. You will use senses that may have been sleeping for a long, long time - or perhaps NEVER EVEN knew that you had when you open up this wonderful book of Gopal's Images and Dreams, Hopes & Prayers, & Spirtual Observations, etc. Need I say more? I would give this book 4 thumbs up But sadly I only had three!
Love & Peace & Much success with your poetry, G!

"excellent"
I always enjoy your clear and simple poetry, Gopal. Well done!
"I am stunned"
This is of the highest of the highest quality, I am stunned ( and envious! ) So much so I am about to buy a download, I wish it was the book itself, but, impoverished writers and all that. All verses are of great, great quality, but the ones with the economic usage, two lines, gap, one line,
( is this Haiku, Gopal? ), are awe inspiring. Now this does not mean every poem will make literal sense to one and all, they probably won't, but this man proves that even when readers are left wondering the meaning to the final deeply hidden 'onion skin', they can still revel in the wonderful seemingly orphaned symbolism. This was the case for me with much of the first half of the... More >
