Ananda Devi

Broschiertes Buch

When the Night Agrees to Speak to Me

Beschreibung

"Ananda Devi's poetry singes and sings of the body electric, bound by the complex, colonial island politics of Mauritius and yet boundless like the waters that surround it. This book of harsh lyric and enigmatic and erotic prose, takes on a second life in Kazim Ali's sensitive translation."--Amazon.
