Kamla K Kapur

Radha Sings Kamla K Kapur

RADHA SINGS is a lyrical, narrative and dramatic series of erotic love poems from the feministic perspective of Radha, the female counterpart of the archetypical love couple of Indian mythology, Radha and Krishna. The Radha in these poems is an empowered modern woman unabashedly in touch with her own sexual, emotional and spiritual needs. Spiritually is but a continuum of her carnality. These poems move from the shifting complexity and range of modern romantic love, its ecstasies and conflicts, highs and lows, to a love of the divine. Through suffering and separation, Radha undergoes the highest transformation: becoming the object that she worships, a marriage that obliterates the distinction between subject and object.
