In his editor’s note, Inam writes:

“_The Violet Sun_ is a tribute to the power of poetry and the poetic mind. Indian
English poetry has a rich tradition, and this anthology is an addition to it, showcasing
exquisitely crafted poems of the 21st century by an array of Indian writers.

I personally believe that great poetry may come at any age. From Keats to Eliot 
to the present day, some of their finest verses were written by poets in their teens
and twenties. Therefore, this anthology cuts across age groups and presents poems
written by veterans, stalwarts and young voices alike—the only condition for their
inclusion is that they are worthy poems.”

Here is an excerpt from a review of the book:

“When I chanced upon the recently published anthology of Indian English Poetry, **
_The Violet Sun_**, what first struck me was the care with which it had been curated
and crafted. Like any publication by the Writers Workshop, this volume was bound
in exquisite Indian handloom sari cloth and had the title regally embossed in gold.
In times where poetry is often relegated to the back burners of publication, it 
felt encouraging to see the amount of effort that had gone into bringing this beautiful
book into existence. (sic)”
