Image error Arundhathi Subramaniam As a fiction lover I think the idea behind an anthology is just brilliant It s the only place where you get to read either multiple voices or multiple stories in a single volume The variation in each story or poem brings out the best in each writer or just elevates the prowess of the author This anthology too is wonderfully edited and compiled by the author and poet who has also contributed to the book. Women of the wild book This book features over 200 sacred poems by a total of 56 authors across the nation It starts with a few prominent names from before the 1000 BCE up until recent times Not only does the book feature women s voices but it also spotlights sacred poems written about influential women by men Famous and underrated poems by the Sufis Yogis Sadhus Buddhists and historical women like Mirabai Avvayar and Karaikal Ammaiyar you name it and you will find it in the book. Wild women and the blues What made me feel close to the book was how well the poems were translated from regional languages a few of which I have had the pleasure of reading in their respective original language Owning this copy is like carrying a poetry index which will inspire and ignite you Recommending this book to all poetry lovers who love to read powerful tales of women Arundhathi Subramaniam I must admit this is one of the best books I ve read this year Every voice in this anthology was ahead of its time feminist than many perspectives today Men writing about empowered women and translations from regional languages add depth to the collection I was amazed to find verses dating from 1000 BCE to the 10th century.
