Bøker av A. K. Ramanujan

A.K. Ramanujan (1929-1993) was, arguably, modern India's finest English-language poet. This volume of his collected poems is the first such compilation. It includes poems out of the three books he published during his lifetime, and a fourth collection never published before.

Features the South Indian devotional poems that show the dramatic use of erotic language to express a religious vision. Written by men during the fifteenth to eighteenth century, the poems adopt a female voice, the voice of a courtesan addressing her customer.
