Arundhati in Love Without a Story writes beautifully about love and the nuances of it. Some of these poems are in the tradition of ancient Tamil poetry, and in Avaiyars voice, others about devotion to god and lover. The poems are on love: love for a lover, for god, for a memory or the idea of love. The lovers change and the stories fade but the love survives. This emotion prominent in the poems is of bhakti, of spiritual love and devotion that engages both emotion and intellection.
