These poems written in the eighteenth-century in Bengal, express
his passionate devotion for the praise of the Great Mother Goddess
-- primarily in her manifestation as Kali, the dark goddess,
guardian of the cycles of birth and death. His work emerges from s
bhakti-or devotional-tradition, which revolted against the Brahman
-- dominated Hindu orthodoxy of the time. These poems traverse a
spectrum of moods -- from the wild despair of an abandoned child to
the intoxicated hilarity of a man drunk with the Goddess's love.
