Robin S Ngangom exhibits in [his] … poems a genuine talent for modern celebrations of love-longing and social and personal lament. — john oliver perry
Ngangom is one of the few poets who can write well on both politics and love and not be afraid of showing their links. — Adil Jussawalla
The strength of Ngangom’s work lies in the fact that it is anchored in a deeply internalised politics. Images of cherry trees and women’s ‘riverine hair’ run seamlessly into the fabric of his poetry of political and social critique. — Arundhathi Subramaniam
