–Tara Menon, poet
Dealing with a family crisis and helping a loved one face a cataclysmic change of circumstances would be enough to test one’s strength and resilience – penning poems to deal with this trauma requires an extraordinary skill and creative talent! Jayanthi Rangan has articulated strong emotions to express her own perspective and has given voice to her husband’s perspective without being sentimental or indulging in self-pity. The form and structure of the poems and the unexpected metaphors sprinkled throughout make this book of poetry eminently readable and enjoyable.
