Grow Long, Blessed Night: Love Poems from Classical India
`The translations leap from the eye to the ear, viscerally vernacular, as if newly thought in English. The notes make the most arcane problems vividly clear. And the introductory essays, not just about poetry but about sex, women, love, and gender, are in themselves a major contribution to the study of all of these subjects. A pleasure for anyone to read, and a real eye-opener for anyone who claims to know the culture of ancient India, as well as for those who do not.'  Wendy Doniger, Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago
