Now to his poem:

carte d'identité?

A man searches 
for emotional space, escapes
in the day, returns 
in the evening, and wakes up 
crowded in the night

inside a room that leads 
to abandoned rooms, 
where his heart beats,
mind returns every night,

where windows open and close
into interiors that change
like the faces in some crowd.

He is a theoretical physicist by training, took to poetry when he was a PhD student.

"Interests: reading a wide variety of literature, keeping aside personal domain of interest(non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, don't need to mention details I suppose). In poetry I am currently doing some experiments, and rapidly transforming my work. I don't think only form poetry demands discipline. I believe in William Carlos Williams, e.e. cummings, DH Lawrence or T. E. Hulme's philosophies/vers libre movement."
