Since his school days, Amar Nath Dwivedi has been writing poetry, first in Hindi and then in English. Here Dr. Dwivedi has put together all his poetry in English: Random Reflection (1994), Fine Frenzy (1998), Protest Poems (2002), Beyond Borders (2008), and Wayward Wanderings (2012). He has also included here some of his newest poems. With this compilation, Dwivedi’s English poetry will be readily available to readers and researchers.

Dr. Dwivedi is a widely published and anthologized poet, and his poems have, so for, appeared in various journals and periodicals of India and abroad, including those in Commonwealth Quarterly, Indian Literature, The Journal of Contemporary Literature, Expression, World Poetry (Korea), Transnational Literature (Australia), Asiatic (Malaysia), The Journal of Postcolonial Cultures and Societies (U.S.A.), etc. One distinctive feature of Dwivedi’s poetry is a beautiful blend of sense and sound, of meaning and rhythm. His poetry rings changes on a wide variety of subject-matter and offers a rich feast of arresting diction and style. It is quite alive to the situation at hand, to raging sociopolitical problems of the day, and to the call of a renascent nation. His poems in dialogue form demonstrate the poet’s innovative and imaginative fervour, recalling the poetic practice of Robert Browning and T.S. Eliot to an extent.
