  • The Mango Grove at Kashipur
    Ashok Sawhny
    There are three worlds in Ashok’s poetic cosmos: the first entails strife, spin and dangerous choices; the second is the place where we’re all going, the inn we visit in our old age; and the third is the celestial - where the stars wheel and tumble, where the moon shines its beautiful light and yields to the harsh blaze of the sun, and where creation is still happening.So while...

  • The Tyranny of Truth and Other Poems
    Ashok Sawhny
    How close was I to the end today? Was life in danger of losing its way? Wandering, whistling in the dark, A lonely soul on Noah's ark. Your words, says Ashok Sawhny, are what matter most, and these poems in his latest collection have a distinctly philosophical, sometimes elegiac, air, whether he's dealing with Man and his Maker, an MRI scan or a missing feathered friend....

  • As Time Goes by
    Ashok Sawhny
    Ashok Sawhny’s second volume of poetry focuses on charming scenes from nature and everyday life on the one hand, and the ’big issues’ of our times on the other. In the longer pieces he discusses with some vexation the problems of borders and ideological divides [Kashmir and Partition], and possibly his finest work is revealed in the wide-ranging An Interpretation of History.Dic...

  • The Sands of Time and Other Poems
    Ashok Sawhny
    There is a message of hope in these delightful poems that seems to match the ’I’ve seen it all and survived’ tone of the collection. Writing in agreeably idiosyncratic verse, Ashok Sawhny looks back on the dreamworld of childhood - ’The Stars of Lahore’ - and considers carefully the world his own grandchildren have inherited. He pokes fun at Man’s greed and destruction - ’Mammo...
