धूमिल मात्र अनुभूति के नहीं, विचार के भी कवि हैं। उनके यहाँ अनुभूतिपरकता और विचारशीलता, इतिहास और समझ, एक-दूसरे से घुले-मिले हैं और उनकी कविता केवल भावात्मक स्तर पर नहीं बल्कि बौद्धिक स्तर पर भी सक्रिय होती है। धूमिल ऐसे युवा कवि हैं जो उत्तरदायी ढंग से अपनी भाषा और फ़ार्म को संयोजित करते हैं। धूमिल की दायित्व-भावना का एक और पक्ष उनका स्त्री की भयावह लेकिन समकालीन रूढि़ से मुक्त रहना है। मसलन, स्त्री को लेकर लिखी गई उनकी कविता ‘उस औरत की बग़ल में लेटकर’ में किसी तरह का आत्मप्रदर्शन, जो इस ढंग से युवा कविताओं की लगभग एकमात्र चारित्रिक विशेषता है, नहीं है बल्कि एक ठोस मानव स्थिति की जटिल गहराइयों में खोज और टटोल है जिसमें दिखाऊ आत्महीनता के बजाय अपनी ऐसी पहचान है जिसे आत्म-साक्षात्कार कहा जा सकता है। उत्तरदायी होने के साथ धूमिल में गहरा आत्मविश्वास भी है जो रचनात्मक उत्तेजना और समझ के घुले-मिले रहने से आता है और जिसके रहते वे रचनात्मक सामग्री का स्फूर्त लेकिन सार्थक नियंत्रण कर पाते हैं। यह आत्मविश्वास उन अछूते विषयों के चुनाव में भी प्रकट होता है जो धूमिल अपनी कविताओं के लिए चुनते हैं। ‘मोचीराम’, ‘राजकमल चौधरी के लिए’, ‘अकाल-दर्शन’, ‘गाँव’, ‘प्रौढ़ शिक्षा’ आदि कविताएँ, जैसा कि शीर्षकों से भी आभास मिलता है, युवा कविता के सन्दर्भ में एकदम ताज़ा बल्कि कभी-कभी तो अप्रत्याशित भी लगती हैं। इन विषयों में धूमिल जो काव्य-संसार बसाते हैं, वह हाशिए की दुनिया नहीं, बीच की दुनिया है। यह दुनिया जीवित और पहचाने जा सकनेवाले समकालीन मानव-चरित्रों की दुनिया है जो अपने ठोस रूप-रंगों और अपने चारित्रिक मुहावरों में धूमिल के यहाँ उजागर होती है।

सुबह का वक़्त कपालभांति में गुज़ारा, तो चाय पर पत्नी के विचार छूट गए। कॉर्नफ़्लेक्स और फ़्रूट प्लेट में रखे, तो आलू के परांठे और नींबू के अचार छूट गए। न ज़िन्दगी की ये छोटी-बड़ी उलझने बदलती हैं, ना हम बदलते है। कविताएँ बस इन्हें देखने का नज़रियाँ बदल देती हैं। लाख योजनाओं के बावज़ूद जैसे हम अस्त-व्यस्त-सी ज़िन्दगी जीते हैं, ठीक उसी तरह इस संग्रह की कविताएँ भी बेतरतीब विषयों पर लिखी गयी हैं। कई बार हमारी रोज़मर्रा की ज़िन्दगी बिलकुल नीरस हो जाती है, जैसे जेठ की दुपहरी में सड़क पर लावारिस पड़ा टीन का डिब्बा। इसी ज़िन्दगी से निकली इन कविताओं को फुर्सत के पलों में पढ़ियेगा, क्या पता उस जेठ की नीरसता को बसंत की नज़र लग जाए।

‘धूमिल की श्रेष्ठ कविताएँ’ अत्यन्त प्रखर और हिन्दी काव्य-जगत में नई हलचल पैदा करनेवाले सुदामा पाण्डेय ‘धूमिल’ की कविताओं का प्रथम सम्पादन है। एक लम्बी भूमिका के साथ सम्पादकों ने उनकी श्रेष्ठ कविताओं का चयन किया है, साथ ही भाषा के माध्यम से गाँव को शहर की होड़ में लानेवाले कवि की कविताओं पर संक्षिप्त टिप्पणी भी प्रस्तुत की है। लक्ष्य, धूमिल की अनगढ़ भाषा और नए मुहावरे को पाठकों तक सहजता से पहुँचाना है। सम्पादकों की दृष्टि में धूमिल का सर्जनात्मक व्यक्तित्व उनकी कविता में सक्रियता से मुखर है। ‘धूमिल को उनके कथ्य और भाषा के स्वीकृत स्वरूप के लिए जानना चाहिए, न कि प्रयोगात्मक शैलीकार के रूप में।’

The poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" represent innate, passionate ramifications and poetic mystification for readers. While they may include hymns and religious instructions, what stands out is the sentimental piety in the poems offered within this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys possibilities, comparing them to actualities, facts, theories, alternatives, and ideals, weighing them together. Thus, his work is both insightful and foresightful, providing a sense of life’s worth. Remarkably, these poems are not complex; they are simple and pliable. The doctrines and practices they endorse are not new or recent but align with established norms. The poems that emerge from darkness invigorate the spirit, making our hearts dance and enveloping us in a mystical softness, enchanting enough to soothe distressed feelings while instilling a sense of truth, clarity, and refinement. Nishank conjures images of everyday, affable life, depicting socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall yet rise again—shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are both popular and distinctly contemplative. Hidden behind his voice lies every man; if you wish to understand his character, let the doors of the heart open and allow them to speak. *** The ardor for humankind may pulse in every throb of my heart; let there be a beautiful person within me. My only desire in this life is to die for my country, with my life as an emblem for humanity. *** Like worms clothing the wheat, jealousy, like termites, hollow out the preposterous. *** To erase darkness, those who burn like torches do so even in adverse torrents; they never extinguish. *** Happiness resides in the present, not in the future; it rests in the depths of the mind. —From this collection.

Dear reader, I wrote this book for the ones who feel everything too deeply. The rare souls who still listen to their hearts and believe in love. The ones who don’t hurt others just because they’re in pain. The ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves and carry kindness within. The ones who overthink, over-invest in people and over-love, always. This book is an ocean full of feelings, so if at any point, you feel like you’re drowning, take a moment to remind yourself that it’s a privilege to feel emotions as intensely as you do. Some people are so disconnected from their hearts that they don’t allow themselves to feel anything at all. That being said, I wish you a happy reading. This book will make you cry. Love, Rithvik

सिनेमा और थिएटर के अन्तरिक्ष में विधाओं के आर-पार उड़नेवाले धूमकेतु कलाकार पीयूष मिश्रा यहाँ, इस जिल्द के भीतर सिर्फ़ एक बेचैन शब्दकार के रूप में मौजूद हैं। ये कविताएँ उनके जज़्बे की पैदावार हैं जिन्हें उन्होंने अपनी कामयाबियों से भी कमाया है, नाकामियों से भी। हर अच्छी कविता की तरह ये कविताएँ भी अपनी बात ख़ुद कहने की क़ायल हैं, फिर भी जो ख़ास तौर पर सुनने लायक़ है वह है इनकी बेचैनी जो इनके कंटेंट से लेकर फ़ार्म तक एक ही रचाव के साथ बिंधी है। दूसरी ध्यान रखने लायक़ बात ये कि इनमें से कोई कविता अब तक न मंच पर उतरी है, न परदे पर। यानी यह सिर्फ़ और सिर्फ़ कवि-शायर पीयूष मिश्रा की किताब है।

Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank", like all romantic poets, is generally a poet who is strong-willed and intelligent and possesses an unusually subtle mind. While going through his poetry and nature poetry, we see nature sympathetically with unusual unreputable emotional responses. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is desirous of associating with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses scientific and religious notions, he proposes a metaphysical idea adapted to the cosmos' natural design. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees with the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of the human generation. A "must-read" collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.
