When we hear of them, it is invariably as plaster saints or meek followers. It is time to smell the danger in their words again, to listen to their feral sensuality, their searing questions\u003cbr\u003e\nabout custodians of gender and faith. It is time to tune into their brazenness, their heartbreaking\u003cbr\u003e\nlonging. Not just for their sake but for ours too.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this anthology of sacred poetry that arrives after the much-loved book, Eating God, Arundhathi Subramaniam weaves together haunting voices of, by and for women across the Indian subcontinent. Here is a lineage of audacious woman-centred spirituality that traverses the poetry of ancient Buddhist nuns,\u003cbr\u003e\nBhakti and Sufi mystics, tantrikas and Vedantins. There are women here, and men singing as women, and both raising their voices in praise of the sacred feminine. Brought to us through translation, these poems surprise with how intimately familiar their ravenous yearnings and ecstatic freedoms are. Wild Women invites us to reclaim an explosive inheritance of female power, rapture and wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143464907\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.0 x 8.6 x 1.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebury Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123226743088,"sku":"Trans_9780143464907","price":800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71InidfdhfL.jpg?v=1757331136","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/wild-women-seekers-protagonists-and-goddesses-in-sacred-indian-poetry","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
