Winter Poems (Paperback)

Winter Poems, Keki N. Daruwalla's fourth book of poems, records the poet's inner anguish in a setting of unrelieved bleakness - it is a world of drought, corruption and death. A sequence of poems broods over the exercise of state power. The author describes the book as "a dark rumination on a dark decade". The narrative tension here is perfectly balanced with the poet's perception of the winter of decay.
