Poetry is the genre that gives words to not only the emotions of the poet but also opens the words written by him/her to the readers for more than one meaning and also an attempt to understand the mind of the poet through those words. Elmrabti Kawtar in her volume, “Thoughts Alight Poetry: A Doorway to a Secret Garden” welcomes the readers on such a journey and the readers become equal partners in feeling all that the poet writes in the four sections of love, hope, self and meditation thoughts in her collection of poetry.
With finely written poems, the poet touches the heart of the reader closely and the readers feel a sense of peace and serenity on reading the poems.
The poet appropriately quotes Samuel Johnson in the beginning,
“‘The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.’”
The poetry clearly meets the words written in the statement and every now and then, Kawtar shows the influence of the romantics in the writing.
