He essays a sensuous portraiture of place, invoking torrential monsoons, arid summers, railway bridges at night, libraries in deserts. [He] spells out a frank eroticism in the textures and flavours of fruit... at the same time, [he] is entangled in the hypermodern present. He gathers traces of the loved one from residues both material and digital... [He] maps the city, not only through the portraiture of human protagonists, but also through the micro-ecologies inhabited by butterflies and sparrows... In Daruwala’s handling, the poem can be an oblique parable, a brief lamp of wisdom in the wind of distraction: light as breath, yet as essential.’—Ranjit Hoskote\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47076158636183,"sku":"9789386050052","price":140.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789386050052.webp?v=1772873214","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-sand-libraries-of-timbuktu-poems-9789386050052","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
