According to the Kama Sutra, the erotic handbook written two
thousand years ago, when the wheel of ecstasy is in motion "there
is no textbook at all, and no order." Indian Love Poems is a unique
gathering of poems from across more than two and a half millennia
that attempts to catalog the disordered ecstasies of love, ranging
from the Kama Sutra and earlier works up to present-day India and
the poets of the Indian diaspora. Emerging from many Indian
cultures and eras, the poems collected here reflect a variety of
erotic and spiritual passions, and celebrate the powerful role of
desire-both male and female-in the intricate dance of existence.
From the twelfth-century female poet Mahadeviyakka to the
twentieth-century Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore to such
contemporary poets as Kamala Das and Vikram Seth, this glittering
tapestry of lyric voices beautifully and sensually evokes the
transfiguring force of love.
