CHAND NIGAL GAYI Paperback

"Chand Nigal Gayi: Gulzar Saab Ki Kavitayein" by Saba Mahmood Bashir is a insightful analysis of the poetry of Gulzar, arguably India's most renowned contemporary poet. This book, a Hindi translation of Bashir's earlier work "I Swallowed the Moon," delves into what defines Gulzar's unique poetic style, his signature themes, and the recurrent imagery in his verses. It particularly highlights how Gulzar seamlessly blends his film and non-film poetry, making literature and cinema closer than with most other poets and lyricists. Complete with an interview where Gulzar discusses his artistic process, influences, and experiments with various poetic forms, this work serves as an invaluable addition for anyone seeking to understand the bridge Gulzar creates between popular culture and high art.
