  <default_description>Jeet Thayil's definitive selection covers 55 years of Indian poetry in English. It is the first anthology to represent not just the major poets of the past half-century - the canonical writers who have dominated Indian poetry and publishing since the 1950s - but also the different kinds of poetry written by an extraordinary range of younger poets who live in many other countries. It is a groundbreaking global anthology of 70 poets writing in a common language, responding to shared traditions, different cultures and contrasting lives in the changing modern world.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[My relationship with poetry is rather complicated, perhaps more than photography!  I am yet to find a reasonable argument to convince me that poetry in a post-modern world, or more accurately, post- modern poetry in the contemporary world has a certain shared tenets, value and purpose beyond that of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66747570">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a copublication by Bloodaxe and FULCRUM -- the definitive anthology of current English-language poetry from India and from the Indian diaspora. This book puts India squarely on the map of English-language poetry.
