Of the worlds ancient poetry, that of classical India was the most vividly erotic uninhibited, tender, sad and joyous by turns. The poems sound as if they might have been written yesterday, although the period they cover ranges from roughly 200 CE until about the eleventh century. The Cane Groves is a brilliant selection of refined, provocative, shivery-lovely poems. It has a generous bibliography and an astute introduction that illuminates both poetics and scholarship with its insights into wealth of nature imagery, the implicit watershed consciousness, and a sense of the Wild as Tryst. What a gem of a book! Its the best gathering of Indian short poems yet. Gary Snyder |
