One Zero Eight - Syal Parvin D.

This collection of poetry - ONE ZERO EIGHT - is a commentary on the events, places and personalities that influenced and left a lasting impression on the poet.

This collection is an allegory - it uses the metaphysical and quantum physical aspects of the numbers 108. The interpretation is - One for Ego, and creation; Zero for the void of death, and regeneration, and Eight for Infinity.

This collection is a travelogue - it writes about the different places the poet has traveled through Africa, India, Europe and North America.

This collection ¡s autobiographical and intensely personal, albeit with heavy doses of poetic license and imagination.

This collection Is a series of paintings, where words of varied hues slide along the brush strokes of experience to create a vibrant and expansive mosaic.

Poetry, though, Is always a work In progress, as its interpretation Is like a shimmering mirage - enigmatic, mercurial, and ever-changing. The search for meaning is the adventure!
