A Journey of Sensitivity and Nature

The poetry collection प्रकृति की दहलीज पर by रेणु सिंह 'राधे' takes readers on a reflective journey through the delicate interplay of nature and human emotions. Comprising 90 poems, the book is a lyrical offering that captures various forms, moods, and elements of nature, while also invoking deep human sensitivity.

Each poem, though short in form, is layered with emotions and meanings. The poet’s ability to express life’s unseen and often unfelt moments stands out in lines like:

"मों में /बिन आह के /भी बिछ जाता है ।"

These lines express silent suffering, painting a powerful image of inner pain that settles within, even without a visible cry.

The final poem in the collection, "आग का सहारा", touches on the lives of those on the margins of society. Through this poem, the poet presents the warmth of fire not as a mere element, but as a lifeline:

"आग को भी/ करते हैं पसंद लोग/ भरी सर्द रातों में /यही होता है सहारा/ रात-रात भर काम करते /काम से लौटते थके मांदे/ बेघर/ बेबस लोगों का/ वही घर की बैठक में बैठे/ सिकुड़े बुजुर्गों का ।"

Such verses echo the poet's empathy and her sharp observation of social realities intertwined with natural elements.

In her foreword, रेणु सिंह 'राधे' writes that she hopes the diverse aspects of nature depicted in this collection will be appreciated by readers. She also expresses gratitude to प्रो. रूप देवगुणा, whose inspiration led her to write on nature. The book is dedicated to her parents, reflecting the poet’s values and emotional depth.

In the introduction, डॉ. दीपक कुमार श्रीवास्तव, Government Public Library Officer, remarks:

"प्रकृति की दहलीज पर की लघु कविताएं न केवल प्रकृति के सौंदर्य को दर्शाती हैं, बल्कि उसमें छिपी संवेदनशीलता, मानवीय संबंधों, और जीवन के गहन पहलुओं को भी उजागर करती हैं। संग्रह में समाहित 90 कविताएं, जिनमें बादल, पगडंडी, सूरज, चाँद, चाँदनी, और समुद्र जैसे विषयों पर रचनाएं हैं, उनकी रचनात्मकता और प्रकृति के प्रति गहरी समझ का प्रमाण हैं।"

In a message of encouragement, retired principal प्रार्थना भारती writes:

"लेखिका की कविताओं में जीवन की गहराइयों को उजागर करने की अद्वितीय क्षमता है जो पाठकों को सोचने और महसूस करने के लिए प्रेरित करती है।"

Similarly, गरिमा राजेश गौतम 'गर्विता' praises the emotional impact of the poems, stating:

"कविताओं के भाव बहुत ऊंचे हैं , पाठक स्वयं रचनाओं को पढ़ कर उनसे जुड़ा महसूस करते हैं।"

The language of the poems is simple and accessible, which makes the collection appealing to a wide range of readers. The cover page is also thoughtfully designed, aligning well with the title and theme.
