Dhiruben Patel is a very well-known Gujarati writer who has written in Hindi and English from time to time. She has tried various literary forms with success but is better known as a novelist. These Kitchen Poems of hers are unique in the sense that though the kitchen always remains in the background they give us an insight into the way a woman feels about herself, her family and the world in general. It is not feminist literature but reveals so many aspects of a woman’s world that one feels enlightened and emotionally enriched by reading these poems I am confident that Dhiruben Patel’s Kitchen Poems will be a valuable addition to the world of poetry because of its universal appeal and simple lyrical charm.
