Narcopolis book summary6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This edition of Collected Poems by Jeet Thayil contains all his major poetic creations: Rightly so readership of poetry has dramatically fallen in India you may believe it or not. In the preface, Thayil laments (usual for an Indian poet) the lack of support and readership and discloses to the readers that Narcopolis is the only book by him that remains in print. The front cover and the blurb have praises by noted poets and critics for Thayil’s poetry. ![]() ![]() The book comes in a hardcover edition and you will love it (perhaps more than you love the text after reading it). Here is my review of the same.īefore I go and discuss its content in details, let me tell my readers at the outset that I am truly impressed by the cover designing. And now that I have entered into this very field, (Indian English Poetry is the chief area for my PhD), I had the chance to read Jeet Thayil’s 2015-publication, Collected Poems. However, reading one or two poems or a little more in isolation cannot be the best foundation to judge someone’s poetic abilities with all its glories and loopholes. I am also one of his admirers because I know Thayil makes sense. Okay! The poems by Jeet Thayil have garnered appreciation by many. Publication: Aleph Book Company, Dember 8, 2015 ![]()
