Description
The Calling is not a regular poetry book. It is not an 'illustrated' poetry book either. Rather, it is a beautiful combination of illustrations and poetry, where my first instinct was to draw my heart out. I would then write about it and words would fall into place enclosing the images. I would define this publication as a collection of poetry inspired illustrations.
The interesting part is the abstract nature of the amalgamation. At times you will have it all figured out in the drawing -that is, if you have an eye for details. But, when you read the related poem, your mind will open to a deeper meaning held within.
My illustrations depict the struggles of life, love and apprehensions. If you enjoy artwork, sketches or paintings; this compilation is a treat to contemplate on. The objects and figures each denote a concept , a story and related emotions.
The poetry after each illustration is a crux of the elements hidden in the drawings and the implied connotations. They give insight into the secretive details which are otherwise represented in an abstract format. It is as if the words give soul to the drawings.
I remember asking my friends to observe the images and try figure out the intent behind the figures. Each one of us is fighting his own battle in love and life in general. The beauty of art is how the same piece of art is perceived in a completely different manner by each individual. It is amazing how art echoes in our hearts and connects us all in a truly inspiring way.
Even if you are not an art person, I am sure you will find a part of you and your life emerging from the apparently still objects in the sketches.
The book is in a descending order of complexity. The first piece would be the hardest and the very last one would be the easiest to comprehend. Trigger your imagination and watch the silent illustrations come to life with The Calling.
Consider The Calling - Poetry inspired Illustrations for your own coffee table or as a gift to your friends and family.
Your review would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy :)
