Reseña del libro "The White Shirts of Summer (en Inglés)"
'A major voice in Indian English literature, and literature from North EastIndia...[Her] poems are like a race of butterflies bargaining with the night.'-Keki Daruwalla'Dai's poetic world is one of river, forest and mountain, a limpid and lyricalreflection of the terrain of her home state. Nature here is mysterious, verdant with myth, dense with sacred memory. There is magic to be foundeverywhere...But as you read closer, you [also] sense a more sinister undertow: this paradisiacal landscape is also one of "guns and gulls", punctuated by "thefootfall of soldiers". You also realize that the simplicity of Dai's verse is notwithout guile. It possesses a gentle persuasive riverine tug that can lead you tomoments of heart-stopping surprise.'For all its simplicity, Dai's poetry does not arrive at easy conclusions. There isno dishonest sense of anchor here, no blissful pastoral idyll. The poet describesher people as "foragers for a destiny" and her work is pervaded by a deepunease about erased histories and an uncertain future. And yet, implicit in herpoetics is the refusal to divorce protest from love. This seems to translate into acommitment to a poetry of quiet surges and eddies rather than gritty texturesand edges...[and] a tone that is hushed, wondering, thoughtful, reflective. Thestrength of this poetry is its unforced beauty and clarity, its ability to steer clearof easy flamboyance.'-Arundhathi Subramaniam
