Paradise Out Of Words

Poems in Paradise Out Of Words originate from a continuous flow of thoughts. Here, in this compilation of 50 poems, Paraj, a teenager, has touched various aspects of lie and nature with utmost simplicity. Right from the search for self-identity, she enters life itself, where she is fascinated by a number of thoughts as she comes across them. Her imagination has no bounds. Sometimes, she wants to search world across the sky; the next moment, she gets lost in wilderness. Then, she embraces mother-nature with open arms and enjoys its every form. Heavenly stars and night sky seem to be her first love. Her philosophical outlook is impressive and far ahead of her age. She concludes with her new style of reversible poems. While reading her poems, one travels through her ‘Paradise’ along with her and comes back awestruck.

In the first collection of Paradise on Earth with Words, poet Eric Scott Grand celebrates those liminal spaces where humankind meets deep blue sea. Baptized by the great Pacific Ocean, Grand's words praise all the warm, bright gifts that wash up here in their stream-of-consciousness tidal flow. From beach days and surfing to wondrous animal-life to dreams of mermaids, these freewheeling poems populate an oceanic paradise that calls out to the author and his readers alike. This book is a signed and sealed invitation to a place you'll never want to leave.
