Background

About Mohamad Akram

As a modern Indian poet Dr. Mohammad Akram has been writing poems in English for the last 10 years, his first English poems collection entitled Emotions… (2011) came late. His second anthology entitled Reflections… was published by I-Proclaim, Pittsburg, USA. In this new anthology, Dr. M. Akram explores lovers’ point of view, love and romances, remorse and regrets in his poems. This bio-note has been written for his next anthology 'The Harmony of Life' published from Brian Books, Canada. The poet's unique perception is used to see and observe the unopened and hidden layers of a lover’s heart and mind with the resulting effect on the lover, the poet himself. Through his vivid imagination, the poet takes us to the world of man in love stopping to ponder over the feminine world, a woman being a great inscrutable riddle ever to be really understood by a man however enlightened he may claim himself to be. He does not blame his beloved; he blames himself for this. It is his failures or dissatisfaction that leads him to such a concept. Therefore, each poem monologue, a single experience in itself offers a clear picture of the lover and his beloved. He attempts to explain the tempting sweetness of the physical world in his poems while being a God fearing man trying to spend his life according to God’s will. A second thread running through Reflections is the worry caused to the poet by the materialistic approach of people, revealing some of their characteristics even though virtually being different. This lack of open communication leads the poet to think that most of the people do not understand his feelings, and adds to the deep alienation felt by him. Written by Dr L. Bailliet (Ph.
