In this major collection by one of India`s finest poets, Jeet Thayil offers his most affecting work to date, a startling meditation on love, grief, and the random dictates of history. In poems shaped by tenderness and rage, time blurs into a continuous present visited by Beethoven and Babur, by unnamed protagonists for whom religion and addiction are interchangeable, and by a remote god-like figure who will "lick your wound with his infected tongue". A stunning range of fixed and invented forms rhymed syllabics, terza rima, ghazals, sonnets, the sestina, the canzone, stealth rhymes result in a poetry of urgency, intimacy, and passion. These Errors are Correct is a haunting book by?"one of the most engaging voices you will read, full of wisdom and regret" ISBN - 9788189975425
