8 reviews for Varavara Rao: A Life in Poetry

  1. Komal Jain

    A truly moving collection. Rao’s commitment to social justice is inspiring. Highly recommend!

  2. Bibin Lukose

    The book gives important historical context, but the poetry itself didn’t always resonate with me. Some felt preachy.

  3. Himanshu Raj

    Some poems lost their impact in translation, but overall, a valuable collection showcasing a unique voice.

  4. Pratibha Verma

    A good introduction to Varavara Rao’s work. The selection is strong, although I wish there was more background on the poems.

  5. Anonymous

    Excellent translation! Rao’s voice is clear and strong. I wasn’t familiar with his work before, and I’m glad I discovered it.

  6. Aryan Singh Chauhan

    A powerful collection, but some poems felt a bit repetitive. Rao’s dedication shines through. Worth a read for poetry lovers.

  7. Anant Maitrey

    Beautiful and heartbreaking. Rao’s poetry is a testament to the power of words in the face of oppression. A must-read.

  8. Chetan Sharma

    An okay collection. I respect Rao’s activism, but some of the poems felt a little dated.
