Its verses rejoice in the pleasures of sex, beauty and all aspects of love. Although hundreds of male translations of the text have been published, it has also only ever been translated by a woman once before. It is also, historically, the part that has been most heavily censored. The Book of Desire is Meenas own feminist reclamation of this great work. 546 $a Translation presented in parallel Tamil and English text. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Tamil poetry $y To 1500 $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Desire $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Sex $v Poetry. 655 7 $a Love poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie d'amour. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000341 700 1 $a Kandasamy, Meena, $e translator, $5 IaU. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011631.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3EC62804E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
