Simplicity is represented as a perspective of a poet in this poetry collection
entitled "Chorus of Simplicity and Other New Poems." The opening
poem is titled Blood and Ground. It signifies the era of war going on in
the world. Philosophy and personal expressions has played a major role
in this poetry collection. Moreover, the poet has tried to universalize the
personal by giving voice to matters of public concern. Nature is also a
part of this collection because Nature is where we exist. "Failure isn't a
signal to give up" says the poet. He drives the motivational vehicle in this
poetry collection. Dreams and freedom also make up a theme because
humans cannot remain devoid of hope. The poet writes " I am not only
a history/ But a deep worshipper of my present time." He is trying to
be contemporary in nature. There is also a poem on Charles Bukowski
in this collection. The poet finds Bukowski very pragmatic as he delves
into poetry written by Charles Bukowski. The poet further writes "The
mad rush of civilization / Cannot abstain the essence of nature." The poet
has highlighted nature as a major concern in this modern world. This is a
global concern. Furthermore, the poet says "Outside my window/ There
is a natural sunset/ Your painting is just an imitation." This signifies the
importance of Mother Nature. The originality of the subject lies in nature
and rest is just an imitation; we learn from nature. Learning from nature
should be the priority. The poet is concerned about that like a championing
activist, through words.
