He is currently contending with a severe writer&#8217;s block spanning a decade, when he has hardly produced any publishable content. He is also losing emotional connection with his own work gradually, and spends more time to edit\/tighten his old poems than creating any new content.<strong> Editor&#8217;s Note:<\/strong><em> Debashish Haar was interviewed twice in the old Poetry Life and Times, once by Sarah Russell then Editor &#038; later by myself as a new Editor before it folded in 2008.
