About the book
Winter Grows on Paris is a collection of poetry on Love, Self and Silence as much as on journeys, people and places. In rhyme and blank verses, these poems weave stories by delving deep into and caressing gently the myriad human emotions Self endures and experiences while negotiating the jazzy, vivacious, poignant journeys of loving, unloving then loving again interspersed with hope, despair, nostalgia, joys and torments in equal measures. Journeys which ultimately become voyages of self-discovery. Intensely emotional and often a tad philosophical the poems take the reader through a passionate journey of life in multi-chrome taken in many lands, across many winters, summers, springs and autumns, through full moons, dark nights and shades in between.
About the author
A Max Planck Fellow, Amit graduated in French literature and subsequently in Law then went on to work, live, love, rejoice, sulk and write in different countries and in different languages. His poems gaze deep into his own journeys and also those of others taken together sometimes, sometimes separately. Poetry for him is cathartic and also a way to make sense of chaos both within and without. Besides crafting verses, poems and prose, Amit engages in teaching and research in various areas of social laws and public policy.
