PITCH PARAGRAPH: THE NUANCE

Hello Sarah!   I  am especially ambitious of your publication of my   book, The Nuance ,   for the fact that this is going to be the world's second book of versified questions in English after Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda's translated book, The Book of Questions, which was published by Copper Canyon Press in 1991. However, The Nuance , a single verse of 1700 heroic couplets, is going to be the world's first of the kind in content, length, literary form and style. 3400 rhetorical questions in 17 cantos are poised to hook the readers with its lucidly flowing logic. The theme of biological immortality of each human being is definitely a pleasant drag. The book is rich in precious messages for humanity and claims to influence the experts and intellectuals and get the readers from different fora.

INSIGNIFICANT HUMANS

              Insignificant Humans                                                               By N P Samal  The universe existed 10 billion years without life and may exist eternally without life. Life existed nearly 3.7 billion years on this planet before human evolution began about 5 million years ago, homo sapiens being roughly just 3 lakh years old, and may exist billions of years without human species. In other words, the universe is possible without life and life is possible without human species. But what is the meaning of the universe or the meaning of life without eyes to observe, mind to imagine, brain to describe the creation? What is the meaning of the creation in the unknown -- without recognition of the created? Who without vision will recognize the light? What is the meaning of...
