About the Author

Ramprasad Sen's poems traverse the spectrum of human experience, from vibrant joy to shadowy moods, from the sorrow of an abandoned child to the intoxicated hilarity of a man drunk with Kali's love, to the high calm of a worshiper tasting release. At once powerful and gentle, brash and subtle, these poems speak to the modern reader with ageless passion.
