Back cover: "In this one volume we publish the most representative work of Adi K. Sett. Almost all the poems in this book are new and unpublished. In the words of K.R. Srinivasa Iyengar in the Indian Contribution to English Literature; Sett's best poems reveal the sensuousness, sincerity and passion of the true poet... and his rhythms, with their elasticity and seeming irregularity, have a modern texture... writing free verse with genuine feeling and elegance... he remains an interesting figure on the present-day Indo-Anglian literary scene and it is to be hoped that his stature will grow in the years to come. Adi K. Sett's earlier poems have found their way into five different anthologies, all published in London, including one from the old and highly-ranked House of John Murray
