Muffled Cries - Elayadom, Gregory

. .

Résumé :

The anthology of poems Muffled Cries is a constructive reaction to all that is wild and beautiful and waning in Nature. It speaks about the life of farmers in the villages and how it is a turbulent struggle and how the poet interacts with Nature , the great mysterious force. It is also a cry against the authorities for their tyranny of silence. Living by his wits, bargaining for time to reflect to find a resolution for the poet's dilemmas even when the music of nature resonates in his bones and vibrates in each nerve and muscle. Nature assures the poet that he is never alone as he watches the sun suck the daylight beyond the western hills. Yet at the end, how the poet fights back his own owe and astonishment on a day of dire clouds and restless winds on shrouded mountains
