Untouched

"Untouched by Bardar contains poetry written by a young man where he contends with issues of growing up, the world around him, confusions, fantasies, longing — as he grapples with a poetic language that is still raw and fraught, but honest and heart-felt. His poetry is an earnest attempt to create a dialogue with his readers. As a practicing musician, his verse is influenced by the world of songs and songwriters, as does daily events like kidnapping and sexual abuse, cosmology, psychology and comedy. I wish him a wonderful start to a fruitful creative career".
