This book was published in 1989, so doubt its still in print. There is no listed publisher so very likely, it was self published by the poet - Guldeep Kaur Dheer, who writes as "Gul". I just found out that she retired as HoD at Chandigarh, and spoke at the Litfest in 2025!
The cover is intriguing - simple blue and white image.
The writing is good in places. In keeping with the norm of the times, focus is on using literary words.
But the spirit of the poet, thankfully, does not bow to the laws of the poem world all the time.
Some favorite pieces from the book:
लाके अपना वजूद इस जहां में
बना दिया खुदा को, तूने कर्ज़दार
This is my most favorite sher in the whole book. Some other pieces are lovely too. I will post them shortly.
