'No ideas but in things.' In lieu of abstraction and sentimentality, Anita Mohan presents 'real gardens' with real apperceptions in them. More inlooker than onlooker, she enlivens the flora and fauna of this volume with her being-in-the-landscape. In the mind's ear one can hear Stevens' beachcombing siren for whom, 'there never was a world, except the one she sang and, singing, made'. These pictorial love songs are the work of an imposingly august imagination. -Steven Felicelli, author of Notes Towards A Monograph of 'The Moment' Letters To An Albatross is a lush crosscurrent of peculiarly fine poetry. Her poems are as playful as they are crucial, whimsical and heartbreaking in a wide drifting landscape. Moving with a purpose her language circles "and then the fleet of rays fly / Past the drifting panga, lifting / Shining wide wings / Through the ancient face of water / Like golden sails." Her poems embody a ceaseless spirit in a work of great beauty and force, of intelligence and stark humility. This is a wonderful, relevant book of poetry. -Geoffrey Gatza, author of Kenmore Poem Unlimited and Not So Fast Robespierre

Letters to an Albatross Anita Mohan Books

This is a breathtaking first volume of poetry -- at turns whimsical and light, at others, piercing and visceral. I loved the unexpected turns, the startling imagery, and the pure texture/mouthfeel of certain words and phrases. My favorite? The series of poems touching upon the fairy tale of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" -- crisp, haunting, and evocative. Truly a wonderful debut from this talented author -- I am looking forward to more works!

Letters to an Albatross Anita Mohan Books Reviews


From the tsunami's assault on South India to the voices of Galapagos' birds to a glimpse of whales off the Dumbarton Bridge, these poems explore an exotic and yet often familiar terrain. "The dark, buttery gaze" of the albatross has us in thrall, for there is authenticity here.
