LINES OF LICORICE is an allsorts book of poems, many of which have been typed on my iPhone, or even scribbled on napkins and scraps of paper. I never intended to write poetry, but once I started to meditate these word arrangements just poured forth. Later, I learnt it's like a tap that I can turn on and off. However, sometimes the tap drips during the wee hours. And all hours. Poetry is a constant companion, a passion, a succour.
