Including poetry whose masterful artistry addresses themes such as love, Indian epic and religion with as much aesthetic appeal as thematic, the poetry included in this set contains the poetry of well-known poets such as Vedanta Deshika while giving a voice to the work of other important writers such as Bhanu*datta who have been given less modern attention.
