This form--glosa--seemed deadly when first I encountered it, but I have grown to appreciate its gifts through poems like this.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267755887536052469.post-49220109531361457092013-05-26T01:10:33.522-07:002013-05-26T01:10:33.522-07:00Oh, my Dad used to read this poem of Naidu's t...Oh, my Dad used to read this poem of Naidu's to me when I was little! What a joy to find it here. But I had no idea she was such an activist. (I should have realised, as my Dad admired her greatly. He was for all the things she too so evidently stood for.) Thank you, Akila, for not only bringing back sweet childhood memories but also adding to and enriching them.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267755887536052469.post-21548205688945253012013-05-25T17:40:16.798-07:002013-05-25T17:40:16.798-07:00You've succeeded wonderfully in this ode to ho...You've succeeded wonderfully in this ode to honour an amazing woman and writer. Personally, I thank you for having introduced me to Sarojini Naidu, someone I've not been acquainted with, but now am eager to learn more about and to read from. I can only imagine, from the selection from her work that you've quoted here, and from the expansion of her thoughts as in the cabeza, how amazing her body of work must be, this 'Nightingale of India'.
