Eyes at the Back of the Head
By Chakkrawan Saithantham (Rutapol Petchbordee)
This is a collection of quatrains—four-line poems of varying lengths—each serving as a complete and self-contained universe. To those unfamiliar with free-verse poetry, these brief lines might seem simple, yet Eyes at the Back of the Head offers a depth that far exceeds its economy of words.
Within these pages, the concrete and the abstract take turns dancing through their own narratives. To the reader of poetry, this work is a world unto itself—a landscape, a sky, a cosmos—waiting for a kindred spirit to unlock the secrets hidden within the verse.
The poetry of Chakkrawan Saithantham acts as an instrument of awakening, challenging the reader as a fellow philosopher and a friend. It is a work of immense intrigue and defiance.
Eyes at the Back of the Head represents the ability to see what lies behind while moving forward; it is the journey toward the future without abandoning the lessons of the past. These eyes gaze at the world from the outside, yet perceive it from within.
Through simple, accessible language, these poems provide profound clarity. Covering both the secular and the spiritual, not a single line in these quatrains is devoid of meaning. Once you step into this world, the words take you by the hand and lead you into another dimension of existence.
