One of India’s finest and most popular writers, Ruskin Bond is loved as much for the lyricism of his verses as for his classic stories. Tender and unsparing, understated but powerful, his poems reveal a deep connection with nature and appreciation for a surprising range of human emotions. This definitive collection of his poems, written over a lifetime, brings together themes as diverse as love, nostalgia, humour, family and friends, solitude and, of course, the joys found in spending time with nature. Now in a revised and expanded paperback edition, I Was the Wind Last Night is a timeless classic to enjoy or share, a treasured addition to every poetry lover’s bookshelf.
