John Dunne, William Shakespeare, and Francesco Petrarch all exemplify Renaissance poets who struggle to make sense of the intertwined experiences of desire and despair. Though their respective works are quite different, Dunne’s Holy Sonnets, Shakespeare’s Dark Lady Sonnets, and Petrarch’s Sonnets lead to the consistent conclusion that desire causes despair. Because it is human nature to desire that which is nearly impossible to attain, to desire is to set oneself up to fail. Accordingly, the…

Love creates several dangerous obstacles, namely drawn from its possessive and often obsessive qualities. As stated in Aquamarine, “love is the closest thing we have to magic.” This is often the case for personal relationships: what would seem ordinary soon takes on much more meaning.

Jejuri poems are all about Arun Kolatkar visiting the temple town in the state of Maharashtra where 'every other stone is a god or his cousin'. The poems are delicately written yet sharply observed - a temple door, a yellow butterfly and Maruti himself find equal care given to them all in turn.

Kolatkar's use of concrete…
