The date clashed with the poetry event we were organising, but when I received an invitation to talk about my translation of Indira Goswami, that too with Nabina Das, my mentor, friend and colleague, it was an opportunity difficult to pass. So, at the appointed time, we ran to a hotel room, borrowed the laptop from our friend, Paresh Tiwari, and had a chat. I am not sure what I said, but it’s in the public domain now.
Do check the video, not necessarily for us, but there are some riveting conversations on the art of translation happening in India right now.
Thank you, Ashoka Centre of Translation and Desi Books and Jenny Bhat for the opportunity.

Dustin Pickering review's The Shape of a Poem: The Red River Book of Contemporary Erotic Poetry by Srividya Sivakumar and Paresh Tiwari in Cafe Dissensus.
/
As Srividya Sivakumar and Paresh Tiwari’s anthology, The Shape of a Poem: The Red River Book of Contemporary Erotic Poetry, heartily admits through many of its poets, the erotic stimulates the imagination but is something that remains unfulfilled. It contrives distance through longing. It does not situate necessarily with the body alone, but also the earth and Nature. An anthology purporting to celebrate the human form, The Shape of a Poem accomplishes so much more in the age of social restrictiveness.
