Focusing on the journeys of four bold female spiritual seekers, this inspiring work by poet Arundhathi Subramaniam explores their unique experiences and insights. Through their stories, the book delves into themes of self-discovery and empowerment, showcasing the strength and resilience of women on their spiritual paths.
The collection presents a powerful exploration of female desires and freedoms, showcasing poems that resonate deeply with universal themes of yearning and empowerment. Through translation, these works invite readers to embrace a legacy of feminine strength and joy, encouraging a reconnection with the vibrant essence of womanhood.
Subramaniam's latest collection celebrates an expanding kinship: of passion and friendship, mythic quest and modern-day longing, in a world animated by dialogue and dissent, delirium and silence. Circling themes of intimacy and time, they return to the urgency of conversation: that fragile bridge across the frozen attitudes that divide our world.
First new collection by one of India's leading poets since her first UK selection Where I Live: New & Selected Poems (2009) from Bloodaxe.
Biography of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, Hindu religious and spiritual leader.
