"The Poetic Refuge" by C. Madan is an anthology of 80 poems with each poem exploring different aspects of both physical and metaphysical nature of life. Each verse delves into the depths of human emotions, spreading out and exploring the different realms of emotional realities. Lyrical expressions of despair, joy, and grief transcend into skepticism of existence, concluding with the sordid realization that life, like everything else, has its ups and downs, sometimes moving in circles, concealing the unknown nature of the other side of life.
