Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'Satchidanandan's poetry is a lyre with many chords: it may seem light with joking tunes, it can be harsh and nearly cruel: sometimes it seems to unite all these characteristics together, especially when his poems have the form of a dialogue.' Antonio Menniti Ipplito, Italian critic 'In Satchidanandan, one notices a great modernity, a chosen but simple terminology of immediate understanding, something like a non-rhetorical dialogue with himself and with the reader, a wealth of symbology, a fascinating smoothness of the verses, a subtle irony.' Carlo Savini, Italian critic 'These are poems of great strength and power, a moving tribute to the generation in which we live.' Jayanta Mahapatra, major Indian poet 'This is a dark, powerful, pulsating collection of poems, the effect of which continues to reverberate, disturb and shock one out of one's complacency long after one has finished reading them.' The Hindu 'Satchidanandan's poetry is an irresistible mix of the real, surreal, intellectual, sensual, and spiritual. Satchidanandan does not shy away from asking deeper existential questionsof being, freedom, love, compassion, nature, language and death.' Shanta Acharya, Modern Poetry in Translation. …

Soft cover. Zustand: New. "The range and depth of this amazing anthology convey the conflicted and conflicting emotions of our times. It provides the consolations of poetry and the solace of art as balm to troubled souls." NAMITA GOKHALE, author, and director, Jaipur Literature Festival ".Although it may seem that devoting poetic energy to an invisible enemy that is pushing the world towards a terrifying future is too closely tied to social duty, the truth is entirely different: it is not death that the poets are celebrating, it is life." EVALD FLISAR, Slovenian author and playwright While the benumbed world is struggling to combat the apocalyptic devastation it has wreaked, a choral spectrum of poetry has emerged to rekindle the spirit of hope. Has poetry not always spelt hope in dark times? Over a hundred voices of unparalleled resilience have gathered here to speak. It is a word of love, solace and bonding; the word the world today is sorely in need of hearing. GULAMMOHAMMED SHEIKH, artist and author Singing in the Dark brings together the finest of poetic responses to the coronavirus pandemic. More than a hundred of the world's most esteemed poets reflect upon a crisis that has dramatically altered our lives, and laid bare our vulnerabilities. The poems capture all its dimensions: the trauma of solitude, the unexpected transformation in the expression of interpersonal relationships, the even sharper visibility of the class divide, the marvellous revival of nature and the profound realization of the transience of human existence. The moods vary from quiet contemplation and choking anguish to suppressed rage and cautious celebration in an anthology that serves as an aesthetic archive of a strange era in human history.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The erudite Kannada scholar and critic D. R. Nagaraj wrote, "To read fiction is to know the fate of a society through its metaphors. But quite often literature consciously takes upon itself the responsibility of exploring the state and fate of this society" This is precisely what the stories in this collection do: they may speak of past and present, but really it is the future that we fear and dream of and hope for that we want to speak and hear about. And these sto-ries we share, most through the gift of translation, live through their meta-phors; the metaphors the writers and translators hold in their hands like bless-ings or timely curses' Githa Hariharan, from her Introduction, 'At the Pace of a Thousand Storms' 'Can poetry be political? The poems in this anthology tell us without doubt or apprehension: "Yes, poetically political if not politically political." And as we finish reading these poems, we realize that politics and poetry, in their real spirit, are two ways of telling the truth, and have been engaged and continue to engage in an endless conversation.'.…
