The Four Colors
My rating 5/5 stars
Our thoughts and emotions, like things around us, seem to be carrying colours of different hues. Even words that we use for their portrayal are tinged with shades of colours. Though, they are not as stark as colours in Guthrie’s Four Color theorem since they don’t map the territories of the world. Instead, they sketch the contours of mind – places where confined realms don’t exist, where porous spheres make the occurrence of feelings and ideas more circinate due to their tendency to turn up when recalled or encountered again. In any art form, the illustration of these notions corroborates the contemplations occupying a mind in a particular instant. And since their appearance may perhaps be not linear, they might get imbued with various tints.
Ankur’s poetry reverberates with the changing hues of life. He believes that his poems, his words, reflect the shifting colours of perceptions and reveries, echoing life. He has structured his poems under sections corresponding to different colours for the sake of compartmentalizing them, though he also makes it clear that the boundaries between these colours cannot be permanently marked because emotions and experiences are difficult to classify.

One of the most wonderful reads for me, this collection enticed me to go back to it again and again before I could finally attempt a review.The review is published in Kitaab today.
