யாதுமாகி நின்றேன் - கவி இளவல் தமிழ் // Book review
First of, not a fan of books that has a collection of poems. I'll tell you why later.
We sometime chuck things in an aisle and some things drop into our basket on their own. This book landed in my hands because of a series of events, none of them conscious or planned. But good all the same. I've never read/heard a book like this otherwise, and I don't really think I will moving forward. Touchwood!
You are told a back story because, that's how it is to read this. That's how it feels like to dwell in each one of them Poems. You might not see it all, but you'd at least see the curtain that has it all behind. You just cannot not do that.
The author puts forth strong opinions, issues that are hard to think, even harder to confront in their honest colors before you.
Purple, black, yellow, pink and a blaring red - Bold, honest, warm, innocent and anger. Plain and simple.
One thing I liked about the book is it's very raw. Its edges sharp and cutting. There's no way you can come out without a scratch in your memory lane. And none of the things taken up to write on is romanticized or blown out of proportion. Something writers are notorious to commit oftentimes, this one didn't.
தாஜ்மகால் வேண்டாம் - தாலி கட்டி விடு
தெருவோரத் தேவதை
முகவரி தொலைத்த முதல் விலாசம்
என் வீட்டுக்கடவுள்
கொட்டட்டும் கொடும் பறை
ஈழக்கனவு
பாசமழை
வாய்ப்பிருக்கிறது
அறிவாய் மனிதா ஐந்தே பெரிதாம்
மூவேந்தர் காலத்தில் முக நூல்
இழவு
These are my absolute favorites. And exactly in that very order. I've lost count on how many times I've read a few in the list.
The diction, if I'm to say in one word is very rich. As is Tamil.
The first read will give you a handful to take away. You cannot take it all at one time. He practically drags you from one corner to another in this big library and points out things, strictly his version, and you may choose to agree, disagree, or go neutral but there's noway for you to deny that honesty in words. Too much conscience at play, too much to dissect, and just too much to chew and force down your throats.
Heavy, naked, layered, vulnerable, poignant but stubborn and very feisty, this book.
Must read for people who knows how to dip into things and taste the choicest of words and nuances.
Humble, still very commendable for a debut.
