- Summary:
- "Old Time Love Song Magic is two books in one. The first collects Andrew Schelling's translations of the thirty-odd existing poems by Vidyα, who may have been the earliest woman to write poetry in Sanskrit. Vidyα's poetry, which comes to us from around 8th century India, is love poetry, and like all good love poetry, it spans a wide spectrum of feeling, from arousal to playfulness to despair. These poems are gracefully attentive to a natural world that spans the centuries with immediacy. Schelling's translations draw on an intimacy with the deep past, his language leaping from the originals and landing hard and true in the present moment."-- Provided by publisher.
