Bare Soul

"Ever since "Leaves of Grass" first appeared in 1855, we find Walt Whitman simultaneously falsely imitated and truly manifesting in America. Who would have thought that his latest local incarnation would be in the body and the soul of an exceptional woman born in Gaya, Bihar, India, where the Buddha experienced Enlightenment? Yet here he is..." ~ Jack Foley.

"Kalpna Singh-Chitnis' poetry is ladened with original thoughts, spontaneity of expression and sublimity. Her poetic myth and philosophy are self-created and universal to the core. ~ Naseer Ahmed Nasir.

"Kalpna's poetry is a saga of struggle between two parts of the dual principle of male-female creation as one. It is the first ever attempt in English to understand, debate and resolve this issue in poetry." ~ Satyapal Anand.

"Only a poet of Kalpna's caliber could make words sing and dance or weep and mourn all at the same time." ~ John Harricharan.

"These are the verses not only of a major poet, but of a true humanitarian in an era when core human values no longer seem common. Above all, this is a book of love." ~ Jennifer Reeser.

"Kalpna's poetry transcends the boundaries of literary analysis, soaring above the need to categorize or dissect, or label with names, as much of English literature is approached." ~ Amata Natasha Goldie.
