Love after Babel is a book not to miss. … [it] is a highly charged political treatise best told in the language no other art form could have managed to—in poetry. — Suraj Yengde, Harvard University.
Chandramohan’s poetry is an extraordinary combination of a strong individual voice, crying out against a deeply felt sense of personal abuse, and a sophisticated understanding of the long history and mythology of such abuse, in India but also in the world at large. … The poems are by turns shocking, moving, and exhilarating. — Wendy Doniger, Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of History of Religions, University of Chicago
Chandramohan’s lines are direct, and even angry. But that does not matter. This is poetry — at its best. He is perhaps now one of the very few, if not the only Indian poet in English, to have taken the burden of social and political repression, as a distinct and livid political idiom. To read his poems is also painful, but the poetry is in the pain!— Ananya S Guha, Senior Academic in the Indira Gandhi National Open University
Chandramohan’s poems are dialogues of the ‘self’ with the ‘other’. He brings to life a world that subverts myths, literary canons, gender and caste stereotypes by pooling in sparklingly new metaphors with sensitivity and care. He draws his images from contemporary incidents as well as myths and legends of yore, and delves deep into the politicized realm, thus ‘rupturing the hymen of demarcations’ of identity, resistance, repression and love. — Babitha Marina Justin, academic, writer and artist
