This book is a translation of one hundred and one poems selected from poetry books of Michael Bullock, a leading West Coast Canadian surrealist poet. The book was favorably reviewed by Piara Singh Sehrai in the Arsee, and was prescribed by Dr. Sutinder Singh Noor in Punjabi Graduate Studies in Delhi University. Sadhu Binning read a paper (published later in Samdarshi, Delhi) at the opening of Ikottar Sau Kavita by Punjabi Writers Forum in Vancouver. The translation was supported by an International Translations grant by Canada Council.
"In this time of post modernity, surrealism is being revisited with the view that it doesn't have to stick to its old limitations. Michael Bullock's poem Rose (from Ikottar Sau Kavita) is an example." - Dr. Vanita in Post-Modernity and Poetry
Let us not mince words: the marvelous is always beautiful, anything marvelous is beautiful, in fact only the marvelous is beautiful. Andre Breton
