As A Fountain In A Garden is a series of thematically linked love poems
addressed to the author's former husband who took his life. The 31 connected
poems are a dialogue between a woman and her ghost husband.
It is the inner journey of a survivor of suicide whose process of grief turns
from a suicidal sorrow, guilt, and suffering, to a resurgence and celebration of
life. Kapur's brutal honesty throughout the poems and a prose epilogue gives the
reader an insight into the hidden springs of human nature, and makes this book
of poems a powerful and moving experience.
“The grief of his loss was an opportunity for self-transformation and the poems
were my journey through death, back to a new perception and experience of life,”
says Kapur. |
