Canticles

Books by Leila Dutt Sen

Canticles is an unusual gathering of poems that runs from the halcyon to the humorous. It is filled with vivid word paintings that evoke nature in all her sensual and vivacious beauty. This rare collection of verse flips, with breath-taking suddenness, from the serious to a delightful tongue-in-cheek drollery that sweeps its readers into the author's unparalleled realm of fun and fancy. The final two poems are penned in loving tribute to her parents.
