A Time For Change (Hardcover)

‘And you would accept the seasons of your heart…as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.’

Kahlil Gibran’s empowering verse on surviving and overcoming pain is only one of over a hundred poems of wisdom and inspiration in this anthology that will stay with us for a lifetime. Through the changing seasons of life—its dark clouds and storms, its deranging joys and sorrows—these words could show us the way to clarity and comfort and help us carry on; give us some strength to get back on our feet when we fall and help others get back on theirs.

This thoughtful anthology of strength and solace contains voices from across time and space: Muktabai, Sarmad Shaheed, Robert Frost, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Eunice de Souza, Dylan Thomas, T.S. Eliot, Vikram Seth, Keki Daruwalla, Rumi, Tagore, Walt Whitman, Ashok Vajpeyi, St Teresa of Avila, Edna St Vincent Millay, Ruskin Bond, Emily Dickinson, Mamang Dai, Arundhathi Subramaniam and others.

Edited and introduced by a celebrated poet, novelist and essayist—one of India’s most loved and admired writers—this is a timeless book, a companion in every season.
