Unforeseen Affection And Other Love Poems
V. Narasimha Rao, India's former prime minister and well respected scholar.
It was one of the last assignments he undertook before his demise, because he felt the imagery expressed in them deserved a wider audience. Jayaprabha's traditional upbringing and modern learning have provided the right mix for her creativity.
Love is the common thread that runs through these poems; yet each is different in thought, distinct in expression and peerless in imagery. Jayaprabha frequently dips into Hindu mythology and Indian culture for various symbols and images to buttress her thoughts.
She is equally comfortable using modern symbols to express a woman's feelings. Her poems represent the modern Indian woman who doesn't hesitate to express passion nor pretend to be coy and evasive about romance.
Jayaprapha's love poems are romantic, sensuous, but not non-sexual. They are melancholic but not mired in depths of sorrow.
In a sense, these poems are as ancient as love, yet stand firm and fresh in the contemporary world
