Abstract:
Love, the sublime substance of human spirit, has been the
inspiration for literary creations from time immemorial.
From passion to desire, from fascination to obsession, from
need to obligation, love manifests in abundant forms in
human life. As an elixir of hope, as a remedy for loneliness
and as a reason of happiness, love is found by many in pure
serendipity. Seeing the potential of love to dig the poet out
of every human being, we let the passion flow in verse
through the collection of poetry on love. “Scribbles Defying
Gravity” is a part of the continuum offered by UniVerse,
the poetry reading open floor of the Department of English,
Korambayil Ahamed Haji Memorial Unity Women’s
College, Manjeri. We have put together 104 love poems
written by the poets from different quarters of the world.
The poems captured divergent reflections on love dwelled
on the whimsical frames of minds. Aspects like desire,
pleasure, pain, fear, power, doubt, passion, philosophy,
nature, gender, seasons etc. found voice in Scribbles
Defying Gravity
