Subhashini Kaligotla on Bird of the Indian Subcontinent

Join us at Book Culture on 112th on Friday, April 5th, at 7pm for a discussion with Subhashini Kaligotla on her book, Bird of the Indian Subcontinent.

Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Art. The poems in this debut collection chart the passage of a metamorphosing self through euphoria, desire, despair, defiance, equanimity, grief, and loneliness. Appropriating freely from diverse poetic sources, the writer gives voice to a polyglot emotional range. Sanskrit poetics, Jazz lyrics, ekphrasis, the locutions of India’s poet-saints, and the Anglo-American writing tradition all find place here. The book’s chorus of figures–from Christ to Krishna to Caravaggio–move the reader between present and past, myth and history, bird and human, and across cities and continents.
