Point No Point: Selected Poems Author: Sujata Bhatt

Point No Point: Selected Poems by Sujata Bhatt is a stunning compilation that spans the poetic journey of one of contemporary literature’s most insightful voices. Bhatt’s work is known for its rich layering of cultural identity, personal history, and linguistic duality—often weaving English with Gujarati in emotionally resonant ways.

Through this collection, Bhatt explores themes like displacement, memory, femininity, and spirituality. Her poems reflect the internal landscapes of a multilingual, multicultural consciousness, often echoing motifs from nature, mythology, and human vulnerability. The result is poetry that is lyrical, meditative, and quietly powerful.
