Overview
Rajinderpal S. Palās first, acclaimed collection, pappaji wrote poetry in a language i cannot read, was an exploration, a search not only for a place in the world, but for a sense of oneās self.
Pulse is a collection of love poems, about the sharing of stories and the sharing of that discovered self. Pal writes about those moments in our lives that we first cling to, then draw from as āwe strive for fabric and textureā in our lives. With echoes of Michael Ondaatje, Palās magical, ringing voice sings intimate. These are sensual poems, explorations of āthe pulse in fingertips,ā and Pulse, the book, is a mature, sophisticated collection of poetry from one of Canadaās truest writers.
From Pulse:
to begin to describe
every ridge of vertebra
the soft hair that lined them
shadow of window-blinds imposed on her body
the strain and the arch
the restrain the push
the skin and teeth
how we would braid and unbraid
About Pulse:
āThe excellence in this book is how it deftly operates between the personal and the national, between how people live their day-to-day lives in the systems in which they live them.āāCalgary Herald
āPalās strengths come from the undercurrents going through the work, the tensions just under the surface. He writes smooth and evocative poems with the illusion of calm and the deceptive ease of one who knows very well what he is doing.āāThe Globe & Mail
