Synopsis: Sale Shambhala library hardback edition. Exquisite love poems from eighth century India - graceful and yet remarkably playful, intensely passionate, and at times hinting of divine transcendence.
This collection, known in Sanskrit as the Amarushataka, or 100 Poems of Amaru, was compiled in the eighth century and remains to this day one of India's finest collections of love poetry. Legend connects the poetry's authorship to King Amaru of Kashmir, while present day scholars generally consider it an anthology of the verses of many poets.
Poet and translator Andrew Schelling's artful translations render the ancient verses with freshness and immediacy. His compelling introduction and afterword offer musings on the colourful background and history of the original text. |
