India Love Poems: Selected, and with an Essay on Woman in India, compiled by Sri Lankan Tamil poet Tambimuttu and published by Peter Pauper Press, is an anthology of Indian love poetry translated from languages such as Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada, and Assamese. The collection highlights the sensual and spiritual aspects of love in Indian literature, while the accompanying essay offers a critical exploration of women's roles and representations in Indian poetry. Tambimuttu's work played a key role in introducing Indian literary traditions to Western audiences.
J.F. Gill's wood engravings plates serve to enhance the visual appeal, reinforce cultural atmosphere, and elevate the book to an art object, not just a poetry collection.
