What is the measure of a woman? She is immeasurable. She is strong. She is a double force to reckon with. Jagjeet Sharma's "journalistic poetry" continues in this new poetry collection, Measure of a Wo/man.
Poems in this collection are about the Wo/man. The Hindu God Shiva's ardhanishvara, a concept that she is both half man and half woman. Lord Shiva, one of the Hindu gods is referred to as the ultimate man, but one form of Shiva is also a fully developed woman. The masculine and the feminine are equally divided within yourself, within oneself. It is about the struggles and challenges a Wo/man faces day in and day out in any part of the world.
"Jagjeet's poems use simple language, but are extremely profound and relatable"
-The North Grenville Times, May 2, 2018
"...even when the poems are relatively simple, moves one to reflect on contemporary society, power structures, the surviving fragments of our own traditions and on ourselves"
