Grace and Mercy and Her Wild Hair

This book likely contains a collection of poems and devotional songs by Ram Prasad Sen, an 18th-century Bengali poet and devotee of the goddess Kali.

Leonard Nathan's translation aims to bring the essence of Sen's poetry to English-speaking audiences.

The poems likely explore themes of devotion, the nature of the divine, and the relationship between the devotee and the goddess.

Kali, often depicted with wild, unkempt hair, symbolizes the untamed forces of nature, time, and transformation.

The poems likely delve into the imagery of Kali's fierce and compassionate aspects, reflecting the cyclical nature of life and death.
