I began to sketch again. The sketches and the drawings are related to what I write.

'How to Burn Memories Using a Pocket Torch' is poet Kushal Poddar's ninth book.
In the words of Santosh Bakaya "Dealing with common emotions with an uncommon use of tone, tenor pitch, and diction, each poem is a delight to read, deftly woven in raw, subtle, hard-hitting lines."

"What do I want from you? What I want from all of poetry and from each line of a poem: the truth of this moment. That's as far as truth goes. Never turns to wood - always to ashes."

-- Marina Tsvetaeva (in a letter to Rainer Maria Rilke)
