Teeth of the Earth

is a treasure trove a scintillating mix of flavors with shattering experiences from a variety of locations that explore universal aspects such as love, life, birth, death, religion, disillusionment, politics, praise, invocation, and criticism of society and persons, as well as some more specific issues like prejudice and inequity.

The poems offer a banquet replete with irony, piquancy, sadness, and joy. They have an intensity and a lightness of touch, the lines flowing with effortless and pleasing rhythm like the river silent in the night.

One poem gives much to think about in its own right, although the temptation to turn the page to read the next one is overpowering. The imagery and feeling seem to draw the reader into a deep sympathy and identification of each poem, crackles with its own unique intelligence and revelatory experience.

These are just poems, poems of constant revelations that strengthen the bond between us rather than alienating us. This book will be found invaluable by scholars, pleasure, and general readers. Savour it for knowledge enrichment.
