Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 'From the exploration of love myths to the celebration of Mumbai, from an extraordinary portrait poem like Sita to the humorous eroticism of Parvati in Darlinghurst, the poems in Vishvarupa show a breadth of human understanding and unassuming wisdom that matches their extraordinary verbal flair. With rich intoxications and buried longings, Cahill, in the best tradition of poetry, expands our sense of who we are.' - Peter Boyle 'Michelle Cahill spans the distance between myth and reality, Australia and India with an ardent intelligence. In beautifully polished, elegant language these poems romp and sing, and they also surprise with moments of subtle tenderness. This is a strong, disciplined, uncompromising poet who delivers probing and deeply engaging work.' - Judith Beveridge 'Transporting the reader from Darlinghurst to Mumbai, from garden to temple, these poems resonate with the author's clear-eyed wonder, quiet, precise powers of observation and gleaming turn of phrase. In a long list full of technically brilliant poets working at full stretch, Michelle Cahill's Vishvarupa was a quiet, poised delight.' - Judges Report, 2012 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 'From the exploration of love myths to the celebration of Mumbai, from an extraordinary portrait poem like Sita to the humorous eroticism of Parvati in Darlinghurst , the poems in Vishvarupa Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Simple but effective visual representations of this thought are found in Indian arts and culture through the millennia. Herein Krishna is present in a Brahmin a mongrel dog a tree and a stone in equal measure. While this book attempts to showcase for the first time a careful selection of Vishvarupa paintings between the 17 and 20 Century to stimulate further study it also reveals the beauty and genius of the Indian painting tradition for the lay reader. 166 pp. …
