ON LATHEESH MOHAN'S POEMS

The gist of Latheesh Mohan's Poems is a liberation from the constrains of what is known,coupled with plausible and persuasive inner coherance.The contrast with the rules of everyday reality,often glimpsed in his poems.It is not a logical whole,instead, scattering suggestive fragments. To this he added an atmosphere of his own invention,rejection of all conventions of poetry writing and trying to recognize the need to create other worlds.

Latheesh is in search of a poetry in which the characteristic theme is the stranglehold of the past upon the present or the encroachment of minimized concept of life upon the open space in poetry.There is an imaginative as well as a candid structure in it.

He can celebrate in his poetry a distinctive virtue of natural reactions.Apart from upholding realistic illusion, he attempts to break written frames or move from one level of writing to another without warning,or might have placed consciousness,unconsciousness,memory and perception in sudden jumps to temporal juxtaposition.

Away from writing closure and fulfilment of the reader's expectations,or following formulas ,his poems often work towards open endings.They utilize enigma, the ellipsis , the narrative gap and a different complexity.

He walks to poetry through a thin thread between fact and fiction and like a spy conceals himself and his surroundings in his poems.
