Evoking the town's crowded streets, many shrines, and mythic history of sages and gods, Kolatkar's poem offers a rich description of India while at the same time performing a complex act of devotion. For the essence of the poem is a spiritual quest, the effort to find the divine trace in a degenerate world. Spare, comic, sorrowful, singing, \u003ci\u003eJejuri\u003c\/i\u003e is the work of a writer with a unique and visionary voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590171639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.08w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/12\/2005 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2006 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Arun Kolatkar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935617978549,"sku":"9781590171639","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5e716eff-9fbb-4a81-b1b8-a95cd21ad476.jpg?v=1688490659","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jejuri-9781590171639","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
