They contain a range of poems remarkable for their wit, humour. They effortlessly move from postcoloniality to gender issues, from present day politics to postmodernity. Urbane and conversational, these poems will instill in the reader the feeling of being guided through complex issues, whether they be of the heart or state, by someone who knows his way around. Though it speaks of matters close to the heart of every Indian, there are many others which transcend national borders.
