PETRICHOR

“What strikes me as significant are her themes and their handling. Though like other poets she dwells on love transitoriness of life and death there is a distinct indianness in the way she approaches these and expresses herself. Her tone is personal her language is rich and confident her symbols are evocative and timeless. Unlike much of ‘modern’ poetry which seeks to be obscure there is an eloquent directness in her writing which captures the reader attention. These poems touch upon love the persistence of hope and the rediscovery of joy with a deft and light touch. ” —Khushwant Singh.
