ART BLISS - ANTHOLOGY OF POEMS AND AND ANALYSIS edited BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI & RUMPA GHOSH

"Art Bliss" suggests that the realities and imaginations inherent in life are deeply intertwined within poetic expression. The anthology posits that through poetic lines, we actively engage with and propagate artistic views. This engagement, however, is not always simple, navigating the complex relationship between author, character, and reader. Yet, it is within this dynamic that the discerning reader can encounter what the book terms "aesthetic bliss afforded by a masterpiece of literature." This bliss, as highlighted in the analysis within the book, is often ineffable, a quality that defies simple definition but is undeniably felt.

Rumpa Ghosh's own perspective, as indicated in descriptions related to the book, underscores the powerful impact of poetry on our emotional landscape and lived experience. For Ghosh, a poem, even a brief quatrain, possesses the capacity to evoke a wide spectrum of human emotion – bringing one to tears or laughter, inducing silence, sparking a sense of wonder, or prompting action or stillness. This perspective emphasizes that poetry doesn't merely describe life; it actively interacts with our feelings and perceptions.   

Furthermore, Ghosh's view suggests that poetry can illuminate the shared yet intensely personal nature of both bliss and suffering. In the solitude of encountering a poem, a reader can find a reflection of their own deepest joys and sorrows, recognizing that these experiences, while uniquely theirs, are also part of a universal human tapestry. This shared understanding, facilitated by the art of poetry, can itself be a source of profound connection and, in a sense, a form of bliss – the bliss of not being alone in one's emotional world.
