Summary: Beautiful, haunting poems
Comment: I love Divakaruni's writing, and this collection of poetry is no exception. She paints an incredible tapestry with her words. At times the tapestry is painful to look at, but it is always compelling.

Summary: Purveyor of the fictional exotic to the pseudo intellectuals
Comment: Ms. Divakaruni's output is likely to be forgotten in a short time -perhaps a few years. In the mean time, she masquerades as an interpreter of the east to the sort-of-educated white audience. Along with her fellow Bengali woman author, Bharati Mukherjee, this lady continues the insults of Sikhs, this time from Yuba City. Perhaps this attitude is rooted in their upbringing in Calcutta, where Sikhs drove Taxi Cabs, buses, and trucks and (like another minority group in the US) were blessed with legendary equipment - in stark contrast to their own bengali men - who though so intellectual just did not have this physical dimension.

Summary: Poems - mostly about Indian women - that tell little stories
Comment: This is the kind of collection that will turn poetry haters into poetry lovers (or at least poetry likers).

Her poems are mostly about Indian women, though I found them universally moving
