Ilustration Concering Books When God is a Traveller

These are poems of wonder and precarious elation, about learning to embrace the seemingly disparate landscapes of hermitage and court, the seemingly diverse addresses of mystery and clarity, disruption and stillness - all the roadblocks and rewards on the long dangerous route to recovering what it is to be alive and human.
Wandering, digging, falling, coming to terms with unsettlement and uncertainty, finiteness and fallibility, exploring intersections between the sacred and the sensual, searching for ways to step in and out of stories, cycles and frames - these are some of the recurrent themes.
These poems explore various ambivalences - around human intimacy with its bottlenecks and surprises, life in a Third World megapolis, myth, the politics of culture and gender, and the persistent trope of the existential journey.

Loved this collection. Recommend.

Reading a poem is fine. But, understanding and appreciating a poem requires some effort. "When God is a Traveller" is a collection of poems from one of the leading contemporary poets of our time.I enjoyed most of the poems in the collection. Sharecropping, Catnap (description of shoe box), Benaras (the labels), Transplant, The dark night of kitchen sinks and Poems matter were the few which impressed me the most. But, I should say that I understood it without properly understanding. Some level of

Some nights youve seen enough earthAnd skyFor one lifetimeBut know you still have unfinished business with bothThere were some poems I instantly connected with yet there were a lot more where nothing stirred in me.

This is one of the best collections of contemporary Indian poetry I've read of late. Inspiring, titillating and imaginative in equal measures, When God is a Traveller comprises poems that touch a different chord of the heart with each of its lines. I confess that there were a few in here I couldn't understand at all, but then what is poetry if everyone could understand every line (asks the elitist in me). My favourites: Black Oestrus, Leapfrog, Fit, Lover Tongue, Sharecropping, Osteoporosis,
