QUESTIONS FROM THE DEAD - Hardcover

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: 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 questions of being, freedom, love, compassion, nature, language and death. Shanta Acharya, Modern Poetry in Translation.
