IN PURSUIT OF TASMANIA

The Indira Poems is a brilliant combination of history, biography and poetry inspired by the passionate life, both public and private, of Indira Gandhi. As India’s first female Prime Minister, she was deeply engaged in India’s struggle for independence and the tumultuous events which followed. Indira Gandhi’s relationships with Mahatma Gandhi, her father Jawaharlal Nehru and world leaders such as Richard Nixon and Margaret Thatcher are part of The Indira Poems. Deeply personal, dramatic and lyrical by turns, the luminous poetry tells the extraordinary story of one of the 20th Century’s most influential women.
