Thamoi Mingshel Amasung Amamba |
A collection of Manipuri poems written by H. Parimal, published by the writer on behalf of the Manipuri Sahitya Parishad, Assam in 1997, Price Rs 35/-, page 58+6. Reviewed by: Konsam Kulladhwaja |
The title of the book takes the titles of three poems. Thamoi is a poem, Mingshel is a poem and Amamba is also a poem. While writing the title words the writer never used commas. On the other hand there isn't any connection of meaning among the words. So one would be confused when seeing the title of the book at a glance. The poet exhales modem sensibility. Forlorn hopes succeeded his heart. Obscurity is one of the elements found in Parimal's poetry. He uses symbols and images while expressing the ideas. One could not easily grasp the ideas buried in his poems. While giving his comment' on Parimal, BB Mutuwas writes in the annex of the book, the private symbols and free imagery handled by the poet brought him into post modernism. It would be different to call a poet as post modern poet or to chalk out a poem as post modern poem. So BB Mutuwas should be careful when giving his comment on such a matter. The poems featured in this book were written in the last decade of the 20th century. Parimal's poetry could reflect the life and society of his time which is not specific.
