 Can you feel through a thought, 

And think through a feeling?

Dig through the mind stuff

and carve a beautiful scene as you are tilling!

'Rewriting Human Narrative' by Surendra Soni is a reflective and deeply introspective collection of poetry that calls readers to engage not only with the world around them but with the quiet resonances within. It positions itself as a “humble attempt” to reshape our understanding of the human condition—a claim that may appear modest, yet the work itself resonates with quiet ambition and philosophical depth.

The central premise of the collection—articulated in the author’s own words—is that we must be “open enough to understand” the world’s many “spectacles” and expressive enough to “recreate their feel.” This dual act of receptivity and creative expression defines the ethos of the book. Poetry here becomes both a vessel of perception and a tool for transformation.

Soni’s emphasis on the balance between heart and mind—“to let the heart feel and the mind think in their essential purity”—echoes Romantic traditions, yet the work is also informed by Eastern philosophical undercurrents. The idea that each poetic gesture, each genuine insight, can contribute to the slow rewriting of the human story suggests an almost meditative, ethical task assigned to the poet and the reader alike.

In terms of impact, the book does not aim to overwhelm but to invite. Its strength lies in its cumulative effect—what Soni calls the possibility of contributing to “a great good in the world at large… even one heartbeat at a time.” This metaphor is apt, evoking the slow, steady rhythm of both poetry and human progress.

"Rewriting Human Narrative" is not just a book of poems—it’s a quiet manifesto. It invites readers to slow down, observe, feel, and think with clarity and compassion. Surendra Soni’s voice is thoughtful, sincere, and unpretentious, offering readers a contemplative journey that aspires, in its own gentle way, to shift how we understand and articulate what it means to be human.
