Lady Jesus and Other Poems

They(the poems) stand witness to the injusticesof the time, speak truth to powerand address the collective destiny of the oppressed in terms of caste, class and gender. They are the poems of a woman, free from dogma, interrogating the world of power and its manufactured hierarchies and exploring the possibility oflove in a world where it is scarce and is seldom free from selfishness. [K. Satchidanandan]
