Through the Prism of Time (Poems, on Love, Hope, Journeys)

through the prism of time : Expressing very personal experiences in her poems, Rita Malhotra invents a language made of mathematics, physics, history, mythology, art and metaphysics - where Yama meets Rembrandt - giving a new glance on joys and sufferings of the “Venn Diagram of life”: making an intimate music out of an encyclopaedic knowledge. —Rolf Doppenberg French Writer and Poet, Switzerland Professor Malhotra takes us on a journey in poems that draw upon the many complexities and contradictions that confront and confound our modern lives. She finds in these not only “the empty spaces of reality” but ultimately, and thankfully, “the train of reflections/ a touch of magic/ as the poetry lamp is lighted.” —Blaine Marchand, Poet, Horticulturist and Former Diplomat, Ottawa, Canada Malhotra's poems, often compact, display what the American poet Robert Frost referred to as “a careful casualness.” Her craft is very subtle and does not call attention to itself. Her observations are mature, pure and perceptive. It is through her poetic voice, honest, delicate, intelligent, individual yet universal that arrests the reader and leaves him or her with something truly profound and lasting. —Peter Thabit Jones, Poet, Critic and Editor “The seventh Quarry” Wales.
