Domestic Creatures: Poems

by Manohar Shetty

Poetry from the perspective of Manohar Shetty is the art of the telling detail--details coiled around a central core of memory and emotion. He is a poet who does not take refuge in huge, all-meaning ambiguity and rhetoric--his art is exact. Balancing the controlled images of violence and urban neuroses, this is a set of love poems, alternatively bitter and tender, as well as some moving poems on children. The selection provides readers with a new look at a quiet, yet distinctive voice in India.
