“All along when I made an effort to write the novel, the seed of a poem lay dormant in my heart. And then arose a different perspective – a juxtaposition of reality against my utopia. It did not make sense to many, but appealed to a few who shared my view.”

A comedian rises to speak from the audience.

“Ma’m, I seek inspiration from your story in a different way. I may add ridicule or sarcasm to the mx and present it to the audience for a second thought.”

An artist says he would like to re do the book cover and make promos for the comedy show.

Perspectives add depth to imagination and enrich lives.

The audience picks up whatever they can relate to.
