Sunshine and Dynamites
Niket Raj Dwivedi - 2021
No matter how much you relate to one of them, know that Poetry in itself is music to the eyes and it was always meant to be felt and forgotten. Rest, love has always been tragic and mostly meaningless and temporary. Poetry in young India has been wildly popular and the trend apart from romance novels, chick-lits and rom-coms has been observed in short form of writing too. As the written art evolves, Sunshine and Dynamites by Niket tries to explore this format and aims to inspire more such poets to express themselves freely. All the poems were crafted from incidents that lasted like poetry itself- temporarily. This poetry book might just have some poems that you read and get etched in your minds but you then have a hard time figuring out from which poetry book or poet it actually was from. Sunshine and Dynamites is the second poetry collection by Niket Raj Dwivedi, a 23 year old entrepreneur and author based out of Bangalore as of 2021.
