Translator and scholar Andrew Schelling perfectly encapsulates the history and passion of eighth-century India in this collection.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A single stanza of the poet Amaru,\" declared a ninth-century poetry critic, \"may provide the taste of love equal to what's found in whole volumes.\" Graceful and yet remarkably playful, intensely passionate, and at times hinting of divine transcendence, the poems translated here offer poignant glimpses into the many faces of erotic love. This collection, known in Sanskrit as the \u003ci\u003eAmarushataka\u003c\/i\u003e (\"One Hundred Poems of Amaru\"), was compiled in the eighth century and remains to this day one of India's finest collections of love poetry. Legend connects the poetry's authorship to King Amaru of Kashmir, while present-day scholars generally consider it an anthology of the verses of many poets.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eANDREW SCHELLING has authored or edited over twenty books, including original and translated poetry and collections of essays. His translations of India's classical poetry appear in numerous anthologies.
