Die Gedichte dieser indischen Autorin erforschen die Spannungen zwischen Tradition und Moderne, indem sie Themen wie familiäre Vergangenheit, das Leben in der Großstadt, die Rolle der Frau, Religion und Liebe behandeln. Ihre Werke zeichnen sich durch eine moderne Metaphorik und exotische Bildsprache aus, die mit nüchternen, desillusionierten Tönen sowie hymnischen Aufschwüngen kontrastiert. Diese umfangreiche Auswahl bietet einen tiefen Einblick in die poetische Auseinandersetzung mit den Herausforderungen des Lebens in Mumbai.
