River Day
(Grasswork Books, Pune - 2004)

"The deep underlying spiritual quality of ‘River Day’
stays with the reader for a long time."
"Randhir
Khare’s collection of select poems, River Day written during
the last two decades is a wonderful mix, so rare to find these
days. The deep underlying spiritual quality of the poetry is somehow
haunting and stays with the reader long after one has finished
reading the poems. The sequence Green Is the Colour of Memory
is particularly vivid, and narrates the story of many of us. The
title poem River Day is born out of his experiences travelling
in the Kutch region of Gujarat and the intensity of other people’s
life exposed to us by the author gives palpable reading pleasure.
One
wishes desperately that such quality of writing could be found
in many more poets." - Review
