About this book
Ruth Vanita’s poems are about relationships, and about the distances and absences inside them. She works closely with form and metre, and often sets old stories beside present-day events. Most of these love poems were written between 1990 and 1994, and in many she leaves the genders open.
First published by Penguin India in 1994, the collection returns in an updated Queer Ink edition.
