An Earth Full of Gratitude

Arts & Literature

“With his poetry, Ranjith Sivaraman stands at the helm of a boat. He expertly guides us through waters of considerable depth that we might otherwise be afraid to traverse ourselves. With his confidence, with his artistry, we can put ourselves in his hands; give ourselves over to the ride. We know he is at home here. Love. Nature. Humanity. These are his lands of well-lived expertise. His poems are a tour through these waters unlike any other you have embarked upon. I invite you to read these poems as I do: Surrender to the ride. Put your guard down and listen deeply. In this way, you will float bravely into remarkable discovery.”
