Bharati Nayak evokes a whole world of natural consciousness, nature's appraisals and emotional bonds in her poems, nurturing each with unique personal care. The love for words, their strangely satiating pleasures and pains are transitions between her thoughts and her beautiful expressions. I found different layers and dimensions in each poem. Her very first poem 'I' tells about her conviction to remain etched in time's history with her poignant verses for generations to come, long after she is gone. If one has read the story or seen Satyajit Ray's 'Pather Panchali' can relate well to her poem 'A letter to Appu with love from Durga' where she beautifully narrates the bond between siblings, and Durga's soulful reminiscing. 'Oh Life'is a conversation of the poet with life, her observation and sensitivity impressed me very much. She begets her verses from fire and from ashes, unmoved by detractors or believers, confident of her perception and evocation.
Poems of immense depth, soft melody, spontaneous flow and personal style makes Bharati's collection 'Words Are Such Perfect Traitors' a must read for all those who love poetry.

A sincere and heartfelt review. After such fantastic review I think I must read this book for sure.
Thank you Poet E.S.Unnikrishnan for your encouraging words.Yes, this is my first English poetry collection.I had sent this book to you and a few other friends in India and abroad.It was published in the year 2016.Daniel Brick had written foreword for this book.
Part 5. Congratulations, Dear Poet, on attracting this wonderful review from a most renowned poet and critic. All the best.
Part 4. The name of the book "Words Are Perfect Traitors" look familiar! Yes it is the same book, isn't it?
Part 3. I could not find the book in my collection immediately, though I remember pleasantly that Bharati had sent me one copy by post. Now I remember that one of close friends from Andhra had borrowed it from me and has forgotten to return.
Part 2. Or, is it the same book she had published some time back? I needed to confirm, for I don't remember the name of the old one, which I had read many times over and enjoyed thoroughly.
The profound words of Poet Nandita Samanta fully and truly echo our feelings about Bharati's Poetry, that we are acquainted with, that she was kind enough to share with us. But, this new book of poems, she has omitted to share with us, at least me.
Loved reading it.......100 stars for you dear Bharati....... : )
Nandita Samanta has written this review so beautifully. Kudos Bharati.
A wonderful tribute to a great Poetess of Poem Hunter. Bharati, you truly deserve this honour.
CONGRATULATIONS! This wonderful review published in a book about you. We thank the reviewer for her positive perspectives and support.
