About this listen

About the Book
A solar year consists of twelve months. But if a lunar year has to correspond to a solar year, then an extra month is required. This leap month is 'Undecember'.
[...] This book represents a month of thirty days, divided into two sections: Sukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha - the Hindu demarcations for the waxing and waning phases of the moon - each comprising fifteen poems for the fifteen days of each phase.
These thirty poems convey the same ethos and sensibility of the previous book - being intensely personal and yet aesthetically accessible. The poems continue their play on Sringara Rasa of love and beauty mediated by the sense of viraha.

A Review
Amit Shankar Saha is the Koh-i-Noor of poets, a priceless Indian diamond that shines most brilliantly among English [writers]. Who else could transform a missing tooth into a multifaceted meditation on mortality and identity? Or invoke the many-named splendors of his native land, and also invoke a cherished love life, via an imaginary tour through his own "country of rhododendrons," all in less than twenty short lines? Nearly every poem in this book is a treasure! I highly recommend it.
