NEW UTOPIA ..
MORE THAN A MERE "HAIKU MOMENT"

Dr. Santosh Kumar has successfully shown that he has both a good understanding of the classical form and literary history of the haiku as an art form, and more importantly possesses the literary experience, expertise, sensitivity and dexterity required to update and further develop this classical art form in his own way – thus both ensnaring and enticing the reader to join him in his own contemporary pas de deux, expressive of the wonders and dilemmas of today's social, spiritual and psychological experience.

This resonance in the reader/audience, together with the "magic" of boundless possibilities, is essential to the success and the survival of the artist's expression as a "living, and ever changing" organism.
