The power of pure poetic expression is aptly visible in Cosmic Blues: A Genesis by Cosmos III

ALLAHABAD, India - Oct. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- There is no doubt that  Cosmos III aptly succeeds in creating  some of the most striking effects through subtle images. For example, in his immortal poem  INTERNATIONAL MADNESS, the poet’s eyes are fixed upon  the sober enquiry of truth that  our planet might be extinct due to “Lethal rains of wholesale annihilation” in nuclear war. The poet has pondered deeply over nuclear holocaust, and probed sincerely in his mind.

William Wordsworth aptly defines “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.” This definition is fully applicable to these poems by Cosmos III.  The wide range of Cosmos III in his poetry collection extends the area of sensibility for the joy and advantage of the readers.

These poems reveal grandeur of imagination. Here we find the poems which show CosmosIII at his best. His imagery is well sustained in all poems. Muriel Rukeyser aptly remarks: “Poetry is, above all, an approach to the truth of feeling. A fine poem will seize your imagination intellectually—that is, when you reach it, you will reach it intellectually too— but the way is through emotion, through what we call feeling.” This critical observation is truly applicable to these poems by CosmosIII.

Cosmos III  has aptly employed ‘hard, dry image’ in his poems to unravel the predicament of contemporary society. These images are clearly visualized, concise, precise, and accurate in detail. Ezra Pound rightly comments: “An image is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.”
