Bridging divisions of Hindu and Muslim, classic and contemporary, including poems in many of India's cornucopia of languages, Abhay K. gives us 100 Indian poems that from the 'stale chapati' of Dilip Chitre to the literate parrots of Basavanna, the 'clay shivalingam' of Eunice de Souza to the 'tiny sweat' of Mir Taqi Mir, give us tangible reminders of how we think, feel, and love. “Abhay K. Is a master anthologist who is superb at picking accessible poems that will reach the general reader.” Nicholas Birns, New York University
