About Book : Recognizing the civilizationinduced threats looming over tribal life, articulating them in simple words, and crafting a powerful counterpoint to the aggressive advances of development from urban centers toward the forests and mountains have been hallmarks of Jacinta Kerketta's poetry.
Her poems, in their simple and communicative tone, convey the suffering of tribal society in its entirety.
These poems are also imbued with this core voice.
Several poems in this collection examine the role of the concept of God and the fear of God in the psyche of helpless people in the cunning conspiracies of exploitation.
The way religion, God, and faith have served as antihuman forces within and outside the boundaries of society is a paradox of broader Indian society; but their impact on the destitute tribal communities is even more devastating.
"When the workers rose up for their rights, some devotees of God asked them to pray with folded hands." And "Gradually, every violence became a test for us, a test from God." These poems attempt to capture this irony from every possible angle.
Jacinta also focuses on the distortions visible in tribal lifestyles due to contact with modern urban civilization, revealing that the onslaught of development is not limited to the exploitation of forest resources and their inhabitants; it is also distorting their cultural understanding.
Beyond water, forests, and tribal life, the general conditions of the country are also visible throughout the poems in this collection.
Whether it's the authoritarian nature of the government or the tendency to use the country's military force against its own people, nothing escapes the poet's attention.
This collection is undoubtedly the next step in Jacinta's creative journey.
