Book Description
A Poem at the Right Moment collects, and preserves, poems—called catus—that have circulated orally for centuries in South India. The poems are remarkable for their wit and precision, their lyrical insight on the commonplace, their fascination with sensual experience, and their exploration of the connection between language and desire. Taken together the catus offer a penetrating critical vision and an understanding of the classical traditions of Telugu, Tamil, and Sanskrit. Each poem is presented in a contemporary English translation along with the Indian-language original. An introduction and a concluding essay explore in detail the stories and texts that comprise the catu system. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1998.

Book Description
Sometimes only a poem will do. These poetic prescriptions and wise words of advice offer comfort, delight and inspiration for all; a space for reflection, and that precious realization - I'm not the only one who feels like this. In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy around the length and breadth of Britain, into the pages of the Guardian, onto BBC Radio 4 and onto the television, honing his prescriptions all the time. This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary- those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego, there is something here to ease your pain.

Book Description
When we say “Right on Time” we are speaking of that precise moment when something should be said in gratitude of, or for appreciation for a special remark or gesture. More often than not, one gets overwhelmed at something that was either said or done, especially when they least expect it. They then struggle with choosing the proper words to express their gratification. This may happen when someone says (or does) something nice for you during a time when you were totally unprepared. Or, there are times when a person feels what they want to say should be more personal or more descriptive. By nature, you want to say “Thank You” but your brain sits in a state of idle dissolution while you mentally grasp for the proper verbiage, and wonder how to say it with elegance and with proper enunciation and meaning. If this has ever happened to you, maybe Right on Time, Poems for the Right Moment is a book you will relate to.
