Nowhere But There (Kahin Nahin Vahin) the award-winning collection represents all that is best in Ashok Vajpeyi’s poetry: his preoccupation with eternal themes like nature, love and death; his unique treatment of body and home and his metapoetic concern for language. For the structural perfection, stylistic originality and the lyrical force of its poems, its tenderness of emotion, avoidance of reductionism ideologies, defence of the personal and the sacred against the public and the crass, its dialogue with the timeless and its innovative articulation of the nuances of the human experience, the book is a master-piece of Indian poetry in Hindi.
