Collected Poems in English

Arun Kolatkar (1931-2004) was one of India's greatest modern poets. He wrote prolifically, in both Marathi and English, publishing in magazines and anthologies from 1955, but did not bring out a book of poems until he was 44. Jejuri (1976) won him the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, and was later published in the US in the NYRB Classics Series (2005). His third Marathi publication, Bhijki Vahi, won a Sahitya Akademi Award in 2004. ""[Kolatkar] approached poetry with quality and a certain thoughtful speaking. . . . A key addition to any international poetry collection.""The Midwest Book Review
