Stunning Debut
It is difficult reading this book to believe this is, in fact, the poet's first collection. Seshadri has a confidence one usually finds among the seasoned poet. He writes with a simplicity of style that could only be labelled elegant. How refreshing that this "elegance" is used to relate and describe such things as the cityscape of urban america and reggae bands while in another instance it is capturing the details of the local flora. It is easy now to understand how Mr. Seshadri placed his poems in such prestigious magazines as ANTAEUS, THE NEW YORKER, and THE PARIS REVIEW. His poems are well-made, and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay a poet. I will certainly be on the lookout for his poems as they appear in magaiznes in the future.//C. Dale Young, Associate Editor of NEW ENGLAND REVIEW
