Coming out within months of his debut work 'This Means War', Mohul Bhowmick's second book 'An Audience Of One' promises the reader of an even stronger dose of reality. Written in his inimitable style with which he depicts the ebbs, flows, hurts, pleasures, joys and pains present in a human relationship along with the battles that are fought within the confines of one's mind, all forty-four poems in 'An Audience Of One' are unique in their own ways. Looking straight into the heart of most things, Mohul's careful and circumspect meditations on matters which plague the human continent were well depicted in 'This Means War.' In 'An Audience Of One', Mohul's free-flowing style marries into obstinacy and produces an offspring almost as tenacious, if not more. There are allusions to John Keats and the Romantic movement of English literature, but 'An Audience Of One' steers well clear of well-devised norms or patterns. Along with rhyming compositions, Mohul does justice to free verse and succeeds exceptionally in bringing out the transcendental and unmatched meanings from commonplace events. This book is also autobiographical in parts and it is hard not to miss the references that Mohul makes to his own life and struggles.
