Lively translations of classical Tamil poems

This book contains 76 poems translated into contemporary English from the "Kuruntokai," which is an anthology of Tamil love poetry. The translations do two things: 1) translate the original Tamil into English, and 2) translate classical Tamil culture into contemporary English culture. As you can see from the attached photos, the translations accomplish both tasks marvelously.These poems rely heavily on nature or "landscape" images to convey meaning, and this book resolves this issue by providing a 24-page afterword section that explains the images so a novice can understand the poems' connotations. The book is very accessible, with notes on individual poets, an index of first lines, etc. An enjoyable introduction to Tamil poetry.

Excellent

The natural world in this era of love poetry is evocative. Ramanujan's translations are easy reading and the contextual notes are very, very helpful.
