But if a lunar year has to correspond to a solar year, then an extra month is required. This leap month is 'Undecember'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[...] This book represents a month of thirty days, divided into two sections: \u003cem\u003eSukla Paksha\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKrishna Paksha\u003c\/em\u003e - the Hindu demarcations for the waxing and waning phases of the moon - each comprising fifteen poems for the fifteen days of each phase. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese thirty poems convey the same ethos and sensibility of the previous book - being intensely personal and yet aesthetically accessible.

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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Duane Vorhees, author of Heaven and Between Holocausts","brand":"Culicidae Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45658074448023,"sku":"9781683151265","price":964.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781683151265.webp?v=1768602134","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/undecember-the-thirteenth-month-9781683151265","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
