About the book
He is a god, an ideal, a magnet for the women who flock to him. They are scribes, editors, messengers, scholars. Some are warriors, some run households while others run kingdoms, and they are all involved in varying degrees with him, the god Murugan. They are desperately in love with him. He too is equally, hopelessly, in love with some of them. Between the lover and the beloved is a mutual give-and-take of flirtation, seduction, wooing, meeting, parting, pining and surrender. And always, a straining to get on with writing - a central motif in this collection of sharp-edged sutras and mellow poetry. A play of words and ideas united by the theme of longing and the articulation of that longing, this is an emotionally charged and deeply sensual collection of love poems.
Kala is the author of two books of poetry, He Is Honey, Salt and the Most Perfect Grammar (2016) and Offer Him All Things, Charred, Burned & Cindered (2018); and two novels, Mahasena (2018) and Theivanai (2024), part of her in-progress Murugan Trilogy. She lives in Bangalore with her family of humans and non-humans, Paru, Gauri, Sathyavak and Totoro.
