Strokes of Solace: poems

Sethi’s work is a masterclass in the art of concision. - Andrew Taylor, The Journal, UK
Sanjeev Sethi is a poet of supreme talent. He has a command of the English language few native-born Americans can boast. When he turns that skill into poetics, few can match his layered meaning and metaphor. - Nadia Giordana, WINK, USA
Eminently quotable - Anup Singh Beniwal, The Book Review, New Delhi

Strokes of Solace is Sanjeev Sethi’s sixth book of poems. The award-winning poet continues to chase metaphors that move us. Ripening is an unfinished emprise: on the cusp of his sixtieth year, Sethi indites with fierceness and fervor. His renditions soothe him and his readers. Sethi’s dedication to his art form is enviable, his patience with perfection or his closest version of it is praiseworthy. Read him to realize the mellifluousness of his motif. Read him to soak in the smoothness of language born of lived experiences. Sanjeev Sethi has published six books of poetry. His poetry has found a home in more than 390 journals, anthologies, and online literary venues in over 30 countries. This includes The London Magazine, The Fortnightly Review, 3: AM Magazine, London Grip, Walleah Press, North Dakota Quarterly, Hamilton Stone Review, Indian Literature, and Outlook Magazine, among others. He is the recipient of the Ethos Literary Award 2022. He is the joint-winner of the Full Fat Collection Competition-Deux, organized by The Hedgehog Poetry Press UK. Sethi is part of the Highly Commended list in the 2022 Erbacce-Prize UK from among fifteen thousand submissions. He lives in Mumbai. Find him: Twitter @sanjeevpoems3, Instagram sanjeevsethipoems
