“मन की गहराइयाँ” – Echoes of Solitudes through Free Verse Poetry
In his evocative poetry collection, मन की गहराइयाँ, Sanjeev Khatarkar takes readers on an immersive journey through the intricate landscape of human emotion. Recipient of the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award, this body of work is a testament to the emotional breadth of poetry and its power to reflect the soul’s hidden terrain.
Written in free verse, the book touches every shade of the emotional spectrum—from joy, sadness, and anger to awe, envy, nostalgia, and hope. With each poem, Sanjeev explores how life’s events ignite a poetic response, offering not just words, but deeply felt experiences that echo the inner solitudes we often keep hidden.
“Every emotion, every reaction to life, is a potential poem,” says Sanjeev. “This collection is my dialogue with existence, painted in emotional hues.”
What makes this collection compelling is its unfiltered honesty. There are no ornate masks or elusive metaphors for their own sake; instead, there is resonance, rawness, and reflection. The poems invite readers not only to witness, but to feel.
Sanjeev’s poetic voice is both introspective and inclusive. While his words come from personal spaces, they open doors for collective identification. He paints everyday human experiences with such sincerity that readers can see fragments of their own stories within his lines. Each page serves as a quiet companion, a whisper of understanding that validates every shade of being.
A resident of Bangalore, Sanjeev balances modern urban life with a contemplative spirit. His background in navigating professional spaces, digital landscapes, and social roles brings a fresh authenticity to his literary craft. His poems offer moments of pause in a rushed world, where emotions are honored rather than ignored.
With मन की गहराइयाँ, he emerges as a distinctive voice in contemporary Hindi literature—a poet unafraid to explore the soft echoes of solitude, and courageous enough to share them with the world. This book is not only a literary milestone but also a heartfelt reminder that poetry still holds the power to heal, connect, and awaken.
