The Astrologer's Sparrow: Poems

By Panna Naik

Book Overview

"This volume exhibits the growth in the scope and in the depth of Ms. Naik's poetic vision over a period of more than three decades, dominated by themes of love, loss, memory, survival, identity and alienation." --Carlo Coppola, Professor Emeritus, Modern Languages and Literatures, Oakland University; Editor Emeritus, Journal of South Asian Literature.

"Naik's poetic expressions of nature as well as of human experiences work extremely well within the intellectual and emotional poetic traditions of two worlds--India and the United States."-- Roshni Rustomji-Kerns, Professor Emerita of India Studies and the Hutchins School of Interdisciplinary Studies, Sonoma State University.

"Naik's is the language of courage: as one who left home and family in search of a wider view of the world. Hers is the language of the explorer. It is a 'rare-dear' shape of language and acute emotion that readers are not likely to find elsewhere."-- Pamela Sutton, MSJ, MFA.
