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
