The poems of Krishna’s Anarchy evoke the meanings lurking in the book’s title. Krishna’s creation is one of spontaneous play, but the world after his departure is increasingly gripped by strife and despair; ‘anarchy’ suggests both utopia and chaos. These poems journey through spontaneity and despair, order and disorder, creation and destruction, weaving through time and space, history and language. Krishna’s Anarchy takes the measure of turbulent times in turbulent, measured poems.
