All the Shades of Truth, written during the pandemic, uses a new poetic lingua franca to delve into fatigue and isolation. The poet uses metaphors like Fibonacci Retracements and Tulipomania to put a lens on the twins of fear and greed that just do not seem to go away. Daswani’s poetry covers important world socio-political events: Never Forget is a paean to the heroes of 9/11 and Juneteenth an anthem for the emancipation of the enslaved. He uses haikus to write about Deepavali and his modern take on the Hindu marriage ritual Saptapadi is a first. His poems also reinterpret Greek myths and the great Indian epics.

All the Shades of Truth suggests that truth lies within interstitial greyness and is the sum of all perceptions. For the poet these perceptions are informed by a multi-sensory exploration of the opposites around him and the ever-present hope that lies at the frontier of despair.

Neil Daswani is a Singaporean author with an international background. He is a banker by day and a poet by night who now writes poetry prolifically and often in tandem with artists.
