Like A Movie Subtitle, Paperback Book, By: Subhash Babu

Read like prose. This book of photo-prose-poems a unique composition in the art of writing a unique combination of picture, prose and poems a unique competency of abstract, concrete and lucidity a unique celebration for eyes, intellect and mind. This is some sort of a photo-feature, subhash presents before us in a strikingly different poetic genre. I would even term it filmy poems. The visuals gaining more prominence than the words? Not likely. He comes forth with this excellent breed where the pictures combine with the words in all elegance; very often the pictures holding an unmistakable edge over words. Photos are actually captured moments from the unending flux of life; and as such they have a link with slowness. Only very few modern writers like milan kundera extol slowness and its nuances. These random ramblings along with the colourful shots, at times abstract, at times concrete do make an exquisite ensemble. There is an on-going interplay between them ever stretching your creative mind further, which renders the product unique and lovable. Critic: asha menon (excerpts from preface).
