Reviews

[Jaideep Krishnan · Rating 5 out of 5]

earthy, involved, blunt; hits home for me

[Nivedita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dark. Very dark. The poems seem to grow and fall with Moraes. Some very beautiful laments about the loss of childhood's imagination. Not to mention all those verses which personified his poetry. Left me sighing.
