Reseña del libro "The Poetic Saree: Dance Poems from India (en Inglés)"
When dance is called poetry of the body, we see words becoming dance in Jaya's poetry.' Leo Spreksel, artistic director, Korzo, Netherlands 'In these poems, the colours, images, elements, rhythm and the fl ow of nature, the spins, swirls and ecstatic movements of the dancer become the poem, in which the meaning is dance itself.' H S Shivaprakash, Kannada poet and playwright 'These poems will inspire everyone to listen to themselves and to the world around them.' Sayantani Dasgupta, author Art becomes life seasons the stage trees and flowers conspire till every art mingles, to lose itself, in the heart of the human. Just like the silk saree that evokes jewel-like emotions within its wearer, Jaya Mehta brings a rich and sumptuous feel to poetry in the Poetic Saree. The poems in this collection explore the moods and themes of Indian art, the delights of nature and the landscape of the heart. Performed at the India Dance Festival in Netherlands, published by the Levure Litteraire, and filmed as videos in the 'Poetic Saree project', these poems have already leapt off the written page. www.thepoeticsaree.com
