Whispers of Myth and Wilderness

In the heart of Kabini’s legendary forests, the wild speaks, not in human words, but in the hush between a tiger’s breath, the ripple of a river, and the footfall of monsoon rain. Through vivid, soul-stirring poetry, writer and wildlife photographer Anil Sawan invites you into the untamed soul of South India’s most iconic wilderness, where tribal wisdom, ancient landscapes, and endangered lives intertwine.

This is more than a collection of poems, it is a testament to coexistence, a lament for what we stand to lose, and a celebration of what still survives. With lines that shimmer with imagery and ache with truth, Anil gives voice to leopards, elephants, rivers, and the indigenous communities who have called Kabini home for generations.

Following his acclaimed debut Aaranya – Verses from the Living Wilderness , this second book deepens his exploration of India’s wild heritage, blending culture, conservation, and lyrical storytelling into an unforgettable journey.

Whether you are a poetry lover, a wildlife enthusiast, a nature photographer, or a traveller seeking India’s raw beauty, Whispers of Myth and Wilderness will leave you moved, haunted, and forever changed.

A call to listen. A call to remember. A call to protect.
