In this revealing self-examination, Guy Bala writes a brief
collection of free-verse poems about falling in love, exploring an intimate
relationship and then losing that love . . . In addition to movement, Bala’s
poetry contains a musicality . . .
Most of the poems combine into a fairly cohesive chronological
story. The book begins with its best work, “A Mountain’s Sojourn,” a
beautifully descriptive nature poem.
Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams presents some of the visceral,
unprocessed emotions generated by a passionate romance. Bala’s talent lies in
his ability to reveal these emotions openly and make the feelings highly
accessible to the reader. Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams is a
testament to selfhood confronting nearly engulfing pain, yet with few regrets
for having braved the encounter.
