in Jaya’s poetry.’
Leo Spreksel, artistic director, Korzo, Netherlands
‘In these poems, the colours, images, elements, rhythm and the flow of
nature, the spins, swirls and ecstatic movements of the dancer become
the poem, in which the meaning is dance itself.’
H S Shivaprakash, Kannada poet and playwright
‘These poems will inspire everyone to listen to themselves and
to the world around them.’
Sayantani Dasgupta, author
Art becomes life
seasons the stage
trees and flowers conspire
till every art mingles,
to lose itself,
in the heart of the human.
Just like the silk saree that evokes jewel-like emotions within its wearer, Jaya Mehta
brings a rich and sumptuous feel to poetry in the Poetic Saree. The poems in this
collection explore the moods and themes of Indian art, the delights of nature and the
landscape of the heart.
Performed at the India Dance Festival in Netherlands, published by the Levure
Litteraire, and filmed as videos in the 'Poetic Saree project', these poems have
already leapt off the written page.
