Summary: In his fourth book of poems Dr. Balbir Singh explores the predicament of the contemporary individual with a rare vigor and penetration. In these poems he delineates a cultural and moral landscape which appears to be replete with confusion and complacency. The streak of pessimism is, in fact, a corollary of his acute observation of his milieu. However, the reality of his vision more than compensates the feelings of gloom and despondency which find expression in some of the poems. His range is not limited to the immediate human condition and, as in his earlier poems, he rakes up the universal themes and issues, albeit in the context of the postmodern era.
