“A Solid Poetry Volume. . . . His Poetry Can Be Adventurous And Experimental, Sometimes ‘marooned Between Dream And Deep Dream.’” Keki Daruwalla, The Hindu



“A Clock In The Far Past Deserves A Great Many Readers In The Present.” Adil Jussawalla



“That Garcha Uses His Multilingual Talents Is Not Even In Question. Instead, What Is Admirable Is The Way He Moves In And Out Of These Diverse Language Registers, Cadences And Textures With Ease. There Is Quiet Wisdom And Acceptance In His Poetry . . . The Metaphors Are Urgent, Phrase-making Taut, Tonality Rhythmically Sound, And Similes That Ring With ‘tantalising Ambivalence’.” Sudeep Sen, Outlook



“The Poems Ferry The Reader Across Like A Time Machine, Albeit An Astral One. . . . Poem After Poem Gives The Impression Of A Minstrel Walking Ahead, Singing His Songs That Call Out To The Soul.” Shikhandin, Kitaab.org



“Sarabjeet Garcha . . . Writes A Poetry Of Arresting Metaphor And Tantalising Ambivalence, Recalling Childhood Memories And Mapping Discoveries Of The Self . . . . Garcha Is An Unusual And Distinctive Voice.” Manohar Shetty



“We Float, Drift, Surge And Seep Through Garcha’s Narrow Passage Of Time Reinvigorated, Wishing Only To Hear More Of His ‘riverine Stories’ And To Come To Rest On His Lush Shores.” Marc Vincenz



“With A Mature Poet’s Cultivated Imagination, He Brings Simplicity And Clarity To His Observations With Words That Glimmer . . . . His Language Displays A Delicacy And Sharpness That Treats Us To Close-ups We May Not Have Noticed Before.” Saleem Peeradina
