“Rhythms Primeval” is a collection of short and nice poems by writer Maya Mitra Das. Her previous book Silhouettes of Time was also a wonderful novel. But, this one is different. The way she has weaved words shows how gifted of a poet/writer she is. Plus, she has incredible knowledge on several topics such as spirituality, mythology, haiku, and others. The Magic Of Imagination is my favorite among all poems she has written – that just hits different. Amazing!

Rhythms Primeval is among my favorite poetry books out there. Written by Maya Mitra Das, Rhythms Primeval is a superb and captivating compilation of poems that enthrall readers and transport them to the author’s magical world. I am impressed as each poem is a masterpiece of its own. From folk tales, mysticism, and haiku to her journey as a doctor and her marriage, every poem told a unique story that kept me engaged throughout. Some poems were short, while others were long, but the length did not make me quit reading. Overall, I loved the conversational and gentle tone of the author. Rhythms Primeval is the book you would not want to miss!

A different kind of poetry than the one I am used to, because I am more into the classics such as Becquer, Espronceda, and García Lorca, but without a doubt, I like the way doctor Mitra uses words to create poetry, I can feel her soul in the poems and the need to answers in them, maybe because of her experiences as a child oncologist. Great work!

Testimonial

Book Reviews

I really enjoyed these poems. The author’s verses carry a real atmospheric weight. Das has a knack for sculpting phrases that feel both timeless and deeply intimate, her language is rich and evocative. There’s an almost cinematic quality to many of her lines, you can see the mists, feel the ache, taste the transformation. Be warned, if you’re looking for a more grounded or accessible style, you might find yourself flipping back a page or two. But if you're the kind of reader who loves to get lost in lyrical fog, this collection is for you.`

Inspiring and thought-provoking Robin

The poetry in this book is very good at giving visual imagery through words. From the very first poem, I could see exactly what the author was describing. I could feel the emotion of loneliness and could definitely relate. One of my favorites is “Maple Leaves.” It gives you such a great visual, and at the same time it gives you encouragement. I really enjoyed this poetry.

Stimulates the visual senses Sachi

Using nature as a canvas, this poetic collection offers often serene, occasionally horrific poetic collection that seems to come close from the poet's heart. The readers can find various themes amongst these poems, which include loneliness and travel. Confined between a few pages the poems tend to be in rhymes, although a few have prose-like quality.
