Letters to an Albatross

Poetry. "'No ideas but in things.' In lieu of abstraction and sentimentality, Anita Mohan presents 'real gardens' with real apperceptions in them. More inlooker than onlooker, she enlivens the flora and fauna of this volume with her being-in-the-landscape. In the mind's ear one can hear Stevens' beachcombing siren for whom, 'there never was a world, except the one she sang and, singing, made'. These pictorial love songs are the work of an imposingly august imagination"--Steven Felicelli.
