Ballads of a Vagrant Heart

by Mohammed Ali K P

English 207 pages 1 edition

Mohammed Ali’s poems are short, crisp, and dense, as poems should be. They travel easily between the present and the past, and easily invoke memories and images, and together become a comment on our existence with its paradoxes and dilemmas. He handles language deftly and is obviously quite at home in English that has now become of our own languages. -K. Satchidanandan A splendid and inviting book from a compelling voice in contemporary poetry. One after another, K.P. Mohammed Ali’s poems burst with the exhilaration of lightning for our happiness and instruction. There is always a spiritual question driving the poetry of Mohammed Ali. In these pages of purely mystical and transcendent poetry, the subject and object seem one and gracefully inspired. Here is a passionate and humane poet designing new entryways for the heart.
