Behind the Desolation Veil
Ujjol traces his poetry roots to his fifth grade, developing into a fully fledged poet while being exposed to the compounded influence of the 18th Century English Poets, the Metaphysical Poets, the Romanticists, and the works of Donne, Blake, Milton, Shakespeare, Tagore, Nazrul... to name just a few literary great minds of our times.
In his own words: “Writing poetry comes naturally to me. I love to write deep, dark, lyrical, esoteric poems. I try seeing the World beyond the veils of veiled love, lust, desire. All manners of human suffering affect me gravely and sadly. Poetry is the art of love, death, and life. I hope you enjoy the hue, the aura of beauty that lies deeply imbued in each one of the words of my poems.”
Foreword
Discovering the rich world of poetry by having read and studied the works of great masters - Donne, Blake, Milton, Shakespeare, Tagore, Nazrul... a drive to find his own way in the magical world of words has awoken in young Kumar Kamal’s heart.
Adopting the pen name of Ujjol Kamal, he found his own poetical voice and expression, developing rather than borrowing. In his own words: “I love to write deep, dark, lyrical, esoteric poems. I try seeing the World beyond the veils of veiled love, lust, desire. All manners of human suffering affect me gravely and sadly. Poetry is the art of love, death, and life.”
