STRANDOM. Poems.2025: Poems

STRANDOM poems, a portmanteau of 'stray' and 'random, ' is an evocative collection of thirty-three poems that transform everyday experiences into moments of reflection and insight. Rooted in the Indian English tradition, these free verse poems blend lyrical fluidity with images drawn from nature, love, memory, solitude, and the rhythms of modern life. Ramkumar's poems traverse the spectrum of human emotion, from innocence and joy to loss and the contemplation of mortality. Unburdened by rigid categorization, this anthology invites readers to find their own patterns within its lines, celebrating both the simple and the profound moments that define existence. With gentle wisdom and a humanistic touch, STRANDOM poems offers readers a mirror for introspection and a call to notice the quiet beauty in the seemingly mundane.
