Description
Praise for "What The Tornado Left Behind"
Starting with a name check of William Carlos Williams and ending with an autumnal love song, this fine English-language collection from multi-lingual poet Anant Dhavale spans styles and forms, from haiku to ghazal, from reflections of daily life to poems of lament and longing. Well-versed in his use of the medium, many of Dhavale's poems carry the echo of his Indian roots. This book presents the impressive debut of a powerful and lyrical poet.
Gregory Luce, author of Riffs & Improvisations, and four other collections.
This collection of poems, by Anant Dhavale, straddles a unique mix of American culture and Indian tradition in a dynamic, interesting, and surprisingly unifying way. These poems attempt to make sense of the competing angsts of two parallel philosophical traditions, neither of which, in the modern day, seems to have the answers. Perhaps together they do.
A.L. Schuhart, Poet.
Anant Dhavale has a charming and sophisticated style of writing poetry. These poems are cerebral, yet strikingly beautiful and eloquent in their expressions. The innovative use of forms to weave together multiple cultural narratives particularly stands out. I found myself compelled to read this volume again and again!
Aslam Mirza, Sahitya Akademi Award winning Poet and Translator
