Description
In this, Vikram Seth’s first book of poems, we are introduced to work written
in his twenties, when he was a student in England and, later, California.
These poems—about love, life and landscape—are intimate, inventive and
immediate. Interspersed with original poems are translations of a poem each
by Du Fu (Chinese), Faiz Ahmed Faiz (Urdu), Heinrich Heine (German) and
Suryakant Tripathi Nirala (Hindi).
The poems in Mappings enchant and impress with their controlled emotion
