About this book
This is a definitive poetry anthology that spans fifty-five years of Indian poetry in English, bridging continents and generations to redefine Indianness. It speaks to readers who love poetry, literary history, and cross-cultural voices—from students to curious adults—with a tone that is thoughtful, expansive, and quietly celebratory.
Presented as a carefully curated collection, the volume brings together canonical voices and neglected figures from across India and the global diaspora. The organization favors a vertical arc over strict chronology, guiding readers through eras and geographies while highlighting a shared English-language poetry community. Rare portraits accompany the verse, adding a visual dimension that deepens engagement.
Two substantial prose pieces ground the poetry: an elegiac meditation on pivotal moments and a meditation on What Is an Indian Poem? These contextual essays invite reflection on language, identity, and belonging, making complex ideas accessible and engaging for both seasoned readers and newcomers to modern Indian poetry.
