Mehrotra’s poetry combines the commonplace and the strange, the autobiographical and the fabulous, and reflects an intense and original engagement with American poetry, especially the work of William Carlos Williams and the Beats. This book provides a comprehensive picture of Mehrotra’s achievements as a poet and translator and includes a striking new poetic sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArvind Krishna Mehrotra\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books of poetry, the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Oxford India Anthology of Twelve Modern Indian Poets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems in English\u003c\/i\u003e by Arun Kolatkar, and the translator of \u003ci\u003eThe Absent Traveller: Prakrit Love Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSongs of Kabir\u003c\/i\u003e.
