Life, death, separation, love, grief, hope, aspiration—all of which are a part of his poetic gaze. He weighs, measures, writes and rewrites each word, which could be felt, touched, visualized and experienced as a palpable reality.
In celebration of nine decades of Gulzar Saab’s journey, 89 Autumns of Poems also brings to light his jugalbandi with Pavan K. Verma, who translated these works. These poems¾soaked in time¾are Selected, Neglected and Suspected and therefore, especially, curated to access three of Gulzar Saab’s bestselling titles in one volume.
