An Old House / ஒரு பழைய வீடு  (Tamil, Paperback, Ve. Anantha Narayanan)

This book has two parts. The first part contains poems in Tamil and the second part contains the English translations (done beautifully by the author himself) of some chosen poems. So, you can enjoy the poems in either language. The poems range from short, witty, and sarcastic ones to long, emotional and philosophical ones that can make you both smile and teary-eyed. The poems touch on topics ranging from love, loss and grief to advaita, religion and spirituality. As one reader commented, "the beauty of these poems lies in their simplicity and directness, which is an astounding achievement for a collection of poems"
