In The Sanctuary Of A Poem

by Salil Chaturvedi

Overview

Fifty-two poems by Salil Chaturvedi, an award-winning poet, collected over almost a decade of wandering and wondering among the Western Ghats, along rivers and within forests of Goa. Amitav Ghosh, the renowned Indian writer, calls it a 'delightful book,' singling the title poem as his old favourite. This book is for those who, from time to time, enjoy the sanctuaries offered by words. This sanctuary slows the heartbeat to a new rhythm and opens the eyes inward. It's a sanctuary where anything is allowed, and everything is possible.
