Kashi by Rajnish Mishra Book Review



First let me say that I love books that can take my mind and body through a cultural journey of peace and reflection. Kashi is a series of sonnets reflecting on a colorful culture and depiction of life within the city.  Rajnish displays his talent for the traditional sonnet style with exciting language, rich in imagery and metaphor.  Each sonnet pays tribute to a diverse aspect of everyday life.  He also includes photos with each sonnet that brings in focus that of an ekphrastic poem.  Reading through this book, I felt as if I were living within Kashi and experiencing all the wonders of life in each setting.

Each sonnet portrays a message of hope and peace with a yearning to hear more and experience this diverse culture.  This book is a true treasure and a must read.
