Quester by the River and Other Poems (Paperback)

With an awed and passionate sense of history rarely seen in contemporary Indian literature, Anniyil Tharakan writes poetry which unifies aesthetics, intellectuality and faith as part of a single poetic process. Rooted in the soul of India with its Hindu ethos, the poetry mingles beautifully with his Christian faith. Tharakan's poetry refers back to ancient Indian literature and does so constantly and consistently.
