"As a poet, he builds a bridge between his reader and the world of poetry. He draws the reader in from the title of the poem and keeps them captive there until they reach the very last word in the poem. Whatever the subject matter, Abnish’s work is most inspiring. He is a poet who is filled with passion for the work he produces. His work arouses the reader’s senses and he effortlessly draws them into his world, where his words touch the reader on all levels, through the use of visual details and language. The reader is able to feel the writer’s emotions, thoughts and intentions. There is a timeless quality of greatness in his work, which is most appealing." - Marie Shine
