Assured in their tonality, Aranya’s poems are magically alive to colour, texture, taste and timbre. They resonate with a yearning for those larger and mysterious dimensions of experience that lie beyond the weave of words and images.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRanjit Hoskote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“These poems, which come from the cusp of flight and possession, light and ‘fungal haze’, found lists and an earthworm’s life, are indeed a map, a map of delightful waywardness.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSumana Roy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Surprisingly fluid, consciously disobedient and impossibly plural, the world of Aranya’s poems absorbs everything—it both touches and is, in turn, touched by multiple, lingering presences. It is both staggeringly singular and deeply choral. You will be profoundly moved by its vast simultaneities, and enraptured by its teeming multitudes.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKunjana Parashar\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;\"\u003e~ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eAranya \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eis a poet, currently based in Delhi, a place to which he doesn’t belong.
