An Anthology of Contemporary South Asian Poetry
Editors: Neelanjana Banerjee, Summi Kaipa, and Pireeni Sundaralingam
Neelanjana Banerjee is editor-in-chief of AsianWeek and lives in San Francisco, CA. Summi Kaipa founded the journal Interlope and lives in Berkeley, CA. Pireeni Sundaralingam was born in Sri Lanka and raised and educated in the UK. She attended the University of Oxford and has been featured in The Oxford & Cambridge Anthology of Poetry and The Guardian. She lives in San Francisco, CA.
This is the first anthology to showcase American poems claiming identities from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Here are forty nine poets, including long-established poets like Agha Shahid Ali, Vijay Seshadri, and Meena Alexander and dozens of younger award-winning authors such as Srikanth Reddy, Monica Ferrell, and Maya Khosla. The poets in this anthology engage in a vibrant diversity of poetic styles and map out a rich terrain where American and South Asia intertwine.
Reviews:
"Rarely does one have the pleasure of seeing so many poets violate the truth that no one can be in two places at once. Indivisible provides hundreds of local poetic delights and deserves a place among the best anthologies of poetry." --Billy Collins, former US Poet Laureate"
This is set to be released in May 2010.
