When Mirrors Are Windows [EPUB ebook] 
A View of A.K. Ramanujan’s Poetics

In an ocean where myriads of rivers converge, can one sole river lend the ocean its distinct flavour? For someone who is at home with several languages, literary traditions and disciplines, is it possible for one form to criss-cross the landscape of another? In a poet’s world of mirrors, where stream and earth are sky, one may ’sometimes count every orange on a tree‘, but can one count ‚all the trees in a single orange‘? In this volume, Guillermo Rodriguez explores these possibilities by analysing the works of one of India’s finest poets, translators, essayists and scholars of the twentieth century, A.K. Ramanujan (1929-1993).
