Bees Of The Invisible

Keki N. Daruwalla’s latest collection of poems reinforces his already substantial reputation as a poet. Containing twenty-six poems, the book takes the reader across almost as many landscapes. The descriptions of each comes with a deft mixing of the palette-hues. But there is more—much more—than colour to Daruwalla’s des-criptions. There is a three-dimensional quality about them. One can feel the descrip-tions, Braille-like, as it were. And then there is a continuous background hum to the lines, as comes from a sea-conch placed against one’s ears.
