‘Are you a visuospatial whiz
By now’?
Asks Roshni Ramanan
“I repeat for liking – the poet
Muses –
Perhaps it caught me by surprise
And it certainly started
A process of inspiration.
As I look at my drawings and
Paintings on my Ego-wall
At the other side of my desk
I’m indeed a visuospatial
Artist
One who – like you – is
Constantly on the move
Between the spaces of his
Lines and strophes
As a poet.
When he moves into the
Position of a visual artist
He is drawing what he writes
Just vise versa: he writes
What he’s drawn.
And as she writes about her
Goals of installing a sense
Of nostalgia
Melancholy and loss –
I’m absolutely aware
Of having been there
Palpably.
But LOSS has been the
Hardest and worse place
To have ever tread upon
With a devastating bleed
On body soul and spirit.
