Bøker av Saswati Sen

This book is a celebration of wild women. The twenty-one poems in this collection encapture women in various stages of their relationship with their wild. Sometimes unaware, entrapped, half-forgotten, numb, scared, and lost, and at other times, intuitive, fierce, bold, a warrior-Goddess, aware of the incredible strength of the wild in her. She is instinctive, primal, unabashed, and glorious, leading the way, hacking away at spent paradigms with the visceral power of her knowledge of her strength. On the one hand, she is intuitive and confident, walking the world in winning strides. On the other, she is sometimes predated by her ignorance and pressure to be who the world wants her to be and struggles to find her way back to her natural instinctive psyche.

In her second collection of poems, Sen explores the emotions that have haunted us since the beginning of time. Love And Other Insanities is a bouquet of emotions, raw and unfettered, that takes us on a voyage to the depths of the human heart and its ways of falling in love. Whether it is losing your heart to someone you haven't met yet, a mother's heartfelt note to the boy who will love her daughter someday, or phantom lovers coming back to meet each other again and again, Sen builds a necklace of tiny story beads that are as different as they are similar.
