A companion volume to 2023's Book of Rahim, this latest collection by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra offers recent poems, many of them from the lockdown period, written in the poet's garden - studies, as he says, in the way that artists sketch what is before them. And "Whatever else it may be, a book of poems is also a municipal registry of births, marriages and deaths. This book is no exception."
