Gathering the work of a lifetime, this Collected Poems - first published in India by Penguin, and, with additional poems, in Australia by Giramondo -is a comprehensive collection of his work from 1969 to 2016.

Mehrotra's celebrated translations from Indian languages (Prakrit, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali) take up a third of the volume.
