Dr. Ajit Kumar has a gift for eliciting honest and powerful answers to his questions about the writing process. The gifted poets and writers he has interviewed provide us with abundant insights into their personal and writing lives, as well as the inspiration that sparks the crafting of meaningful work.

Here, along with Dr Ajit Kumar, we explore the connection between the creation and the creator. In these excellent interviews that Dr Kumar presents to us, by revealing the writer and the written words, he also serves to reveal their individual creative paths, their methodologies, and their artistic aspirations. Thus the interviewer in revealing the artist also serves to reveal the art. I congratulate him for this new volume and look forward to his many other forays into the world of literature.
