The verses in this collection vividly conjure the horror and tedium of imprisonment: the sound of iron gates clanging shut and the shadows cast by the bars of a cell. But Agyeya's vision never descends into bleakness. Even quarantined, he is constantly aware of the pulse of life radiating outside the prison walls-the lotuses in bloom, the gushing breeze, the mighty seas-as well as the solidarity and compassion that unites those in captivity.\u003cbr\u003eWritten between 1933 and 1938, \u003ci\u003ePrison Days and Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e astutely captures the mood before Indian independence, when freedom was still merely a dream. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e'The grand old man of Hindi literature . . .
