Crossing - Softcover

Crossing was first published in 1918, along with Lover's Gift. It consists of seventy-four poems, which are mainly religious. Many of the translations are transcreations and paraphrases of the original. Poems have been sourced from Naivedya (1907), Kheya (1906), Gitanjali (1910), Gitimalya (1914) and Gitali (1914).

One of India's most cherished renaissance figures, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) put India on the literary map of the world when his Gitanjali was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Myriad-minded, he was a poet, short story writer, novelist, dramatist, essayist, painter and composer of songs. His worldwide acclaim as a social, political, religious and aesthetic thinker, innovator in education and a champion of the 'One World' idea makes him a living presence.
