DEAR Book- Under Orion

  Book review of the book  Under   Orion   Under Orion, Keki N. Daruwalla's first book of poems immediately won critical acclaim. Nissim Ezekiel, the doyen of Indian poets writing in English, hailed it enthusiastically, comparing the volume favourably with the first publications of Dom Moraes and A.K. Ramanujan. He wrote, Under Orion is impressive evidence not only of mature poetic talent but of literary stamina, intellectual strength of mind and social awareness. Darulwalla's poetry finds its own form in a fine blend of freedom and discipline, metrical rhythms and the word order of prose, compact, harsh alliterative phrasing and relaxed movement. And I liked this book so much. In this book, my favourite poem is (  SHIVA: AT TIMARSAIN  ) and from now it is in the list of one of my favourite books. Thank you Keshavi Kashyap VIII B
