Much has been written regarding the history, form, essence and literary regulations of haiku-writing. I would here present the premise that effective artistic communication has little to do with limitations, but rather everything to do with the author's success in engaging the reader in a pas de deux which elicits subjective experience and endless co-creation. In common terms, I am referring to the dialogue between writer and audience .. more than a lone author's soliloquy or performance, but rather an invitation to dance, an admonishment from author to reader to remember one's own dreams, perceptions and experiences, and to use the author's expressions as a "kick-off" for one's own creative life process - thus, a secret shared between the author and each reader/co-creator; spiraling off in many directions, like the branches of a cherry tree: blossoming in symphonic echo; and at the same time expressing through the conscious employment of simplicity the most comprehensive yet rudimentary elements of universal truth and geometry, human experience and the wonders of nature (the most influential sensory building blocks affecting perception).

Dr. Santosh Kumar has written a beautiful, frightening, and yet uplifting prophesy. This book should be planted within the hearts of every human, a seedling that will grow and become a beautiful rose, if we but listen to the words of this fine Prophet.

This book written by the experienced hand of Santosh Kumar, brings us to a mysterious space where Heaven and Hell coexist into the soul and flesh of Postmodern Humanity.
Maria Cristina Azcona

Kumar's visionary interpretation is speaking to a civilization that's supposed to be more advanced than others in the past. We hope! However, the curse of sinister weapons is knocking on our doors.

He is a poet of strong good will.

Your work is extremely thought provoking and profound. I read it as one long prayer, a solemn request to God for peace and love. It is bound to have success for it is on the path to love that it will surely propagate.

I found your social commentary on current influences in India to be most enlightening. Society needs a conscience and you have done good works for your country and humanity itself.
