Merrored Poetry 101

Arun Kunjunny's turn toward literature and the arts is not a recent one. As this book of poetry makes clear, his work comes from the heart. His poems deal with a wide variety of topics, from the sublime pleasure of ice cream on a hot day to the challenge and joy of personal motivation. In this book, they are beautifully illustrated by a number of talented and very young artists, children selected from a large number of applicants. With this, Arun has not only presented his first book of poetry to the world, but also created a showcase of creative talent among Indian children. I commend Arun’s decision to publish his work, as well as the published debuts of these young artists. I wish Arun all the best for his poetic career, and look forward to seeing the fruits of his future creativity
