Renowned picture book author and illustrator Jeanette Winter brings us the enchanting story of a boy named Kali who lived thousands and thousands of years ago. Kali must learn to hunt, like the rest of the men in his tribe. But when Kali plucks the string on his bow, he forgets about shooting arrows, and makes music long into the night. Even the stars come close to listen. This lovely story celebrates the uniqueness in all of us, the beauty of the natural world, and the power of music and art over violence. According to the New York Times, it "will resonate with all young children who seek to find their path in the world—and may perhaps be a bit wary of other people’s expectations."

Ram Proshad (c. 1720 1781) is a much-loved, much-sung mystic poet of Bengal, whose violently intimate relationship with his goddess, the awesome Kali, inspired spiritual love poetry which lives and breathes on the skin. Nirod Mazumdar (1916 1982), a painter whose own quest led him deep into the myths and values of his heritage, responded with visuals evoked by his passionate feeling for these fervid lyrics. A bilingual Bengali-French edition emerged, with the Bengali poetry and a French translation by the artist and his wife, Marguerite, alongside the artist s drawings and paintings. Years later scholar-translator-critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, whose own emotional involvement with Ram Proshad s poetry has its roots in her Calcutta childhood, launched on a translation into English. Now this unusual collaboration across space and time is reborn as a rich volume of poetry and illuminations, which contains a facsimilie version of the original, poetry by Ram Proshad, the French by Nirode and Marguerite Mazumdar, the English translation by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and visuals by Nirode Mazumdar. Nirode Mazumdar was a leading artist of Bengal, best known for his exploration of a fresh contemporay idiom rooted in Indian tradition. Marguerite Mazumdar, through years of living and working in Calcutta, has considerable experience in translating from Bengali into French. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is Avalon Foundation Professor in Humanities, Columbia University. She is well known for her translations from French and Bengali into English.

The World Fantasy Award winner by the author of the Hyperion Cantos and Carrion Comfort: An American finds himself encircled by horrors in Calcutta. Praised by Dean Koontz as “the best novel in the genre I can remember,” Song of Kali follows an American magazine editor who journeys to the brutally bleak, poverty-stricken Indian city in search of a manuscript by a mysterious poet—but instead is drawn into an encounter with the cult of Kali, goddess of death. A chilling voyage into the squalor and violence of the human condition, this novel is considered by many to be the best work by the author of The Terror, who has been showered with accolades, including the Bram Stoker Award, the International Horror Guild Award, and the Hugo Award.

Description: Ramprasad Sen was bornin the second decade of the eighteenth century in Halishahar in (then) Bengal.He was a great saint in Shakta cult. But, he was also a natural poet andcomposer. The songs presented in this book are hymns to Goddess Mother Kali couched in rustic words andsymbols of everyday life. Yet, most of this symbolism is a rare mosaic ofthe occult mystery of Tantra shastra and carry a double meaning. Thus, flyingkites, the blind kites, the blind ox trudging routine endless circles of thevillage oil-machine (ghaani), the small town courtroom, the sailing craft oflife - are all symbols of the highest mystic Shakta worship of Goddess Durga orKali (Mahashakti). The English rendering aims to echo the nuances of theoriginal in its threefold uniqueness: simplicity and rustic symbols, their inner spiritual mystique, andmuse and rhymes. This book will treat the English speaking world to a taste ofrare Indian songs and poetry.

Strand’s mystical poems to Ma Kali, the Dark Goddess of India, as occasioned by his encounters with the material dealt in depth in both Waking Up to the Dark and the Way of the Rose. “A treasure of mystical poetry, these poems pulsate with truth.” —Carolyn Myss, author of Intimate Conversations with the Divine and Anatomy of the Spirit In the early hours of June 16, 2011, Clark Strand witnessed a startling apparition of the Divine Feminine in the form of a young woman with an X of black electrical tape over Her mouth. Strand removed the tape, and She began to speak of a coming age of chaos and collapse in which the world of humankind would be severely chastened so that Her world—the world of Nature—could be renewed. Overwhelmed by the presence of One so fully Other, Strand found that love was the only language that would suffice. Drawing inspiration from Song of Songs and the Bengali mystics Ramprasad and Sri Ramakrishna, he began a series of poems to Ma Kali, the Dark Goddess of India, the words to which often came from the Great Mother Herself.
