Meeting With Christ and Other Poems by Deepak Chaswal

But when He emerges in front of the Poet there'll be some mind-twisting revelation for sure. Deepak Chaswal bares his soul to bleed onto every page that you may be further enriched for reading it.' Felix Nicolau (prolific poet, novelist, critic and Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at 'Hyperion' University of Bucharest, Romania, where he is the Dean of Faculty of Letters and Foreign Languages) observes: 'Now and again Christ pops up before our eyes - bearer of intense messages. He then leads us from the paths of iniquity into a gentle serenity with his musing in his poem 'Joy'. In 'Day of Judgement' Chaswal's poetry wanders the bleak alleyways of ignorance, atrocity, and man's inhumanity to man. His poem, 'Man', tells succinctly the story of our existence from cradle to grave.

WONDERFUL WORK I really loved it.' In the words of Candice James, Poet Laureate, New Westminster, BC CANADA: 'Deepak Chaswal is a master of words and weaves them into an intricate pattern that indelibly imprints the mind.

One of, perhaps, THE most spiritually renewing poet on the contemporary scene. You read his poetry and you go through a kind of spiritual renewal. Chaswal identifies with blacks, whites, Indians in India, Americans.you name it, he identifies with it. He hates greed, selfishness, in a sense the whole mechanical-cybernetic drifting of the modern world into a flow that is turning humankind into something minor and self-involved that it was never intended to be. Christ isn't someone distant for Chaswal but someone he goes to Jerusalem to meet and converse with, all about a return to essential humanity. What he wants is individual sanity, salvation, an escape from the depravities of the modern world into an ancient oneness with the universe, a kind of reworking of human spirituality, so that it really functions and Man as such can glide into, drift into individual completeness. And Chaswal has the single most original view of Christianity in all its totality and specifics of anyone else on the contemporary scene. Hugh Fox (Professor Emeritus of Michigan State University, archaeologist, editor, writer, and iconic poet of international fame) has liked and appreciated this book in these words: 'One of the deepest, widest, most universal poetry books ever written about individual spirituality in a world-wide context. His poetry has been widely appreciated by eminent poets, critics and poetry lovers around the globe. Poetry book - 'Meeting with Christ and Other Poems' is written by internationally renowned poet Deepak Chaswal.
