Join us for a conversation between Jeet Thayil and Ranjit Hoskote about poetry in Bombay from the 1980s and 1990s. The interaction will include a reading of poetry from 60 Indian Poets (Penguin Books India, 2008), edited by Jeet Thayil, and Ranjit Hoskote's latest collection, Central Time (Penguin / Viking, 2014).
60 Indian Poets encompasses 55 years of Indian poetry in English. Jeet Thayil's anthology honours writers whose works span generations and geographical locations. During the evening, Jeet Thayil will also read some of his own poems.
Central Time, Ranjit Hoskote's latest collection, comprises one hundred poems written between 2006 and 2014. It resonates with the crises of war, genocide, terror, forced migration, and the precariousness of belonging.
Jeet Thayil is the author of four collections of poetry: These Errors Are Correct (Tranquebar, 2008), English (2004, Penguin India, Rattapallax Press, New York, 2004), Apocalypso (Ark, 1997) and Gemini (Viking Penguin, 1992). His first novel, Narcopolis, (Faber & Faber, 2012), won the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature and was shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize.
Ranjit Hoskote collections of poetry include Vanishing Acts: New & Selected Poems 1985-2005 (Penguin, 2006) and, in German Die Ankunft der Vögel (Carl Hanser Verlag, 2006) and Confluences - Kampfabsage (Blessing, 2007), co-authored with Ilija Trojanow. He is the editor of Dom Moraes: Selected Poems (Penguin, 2012), the first annotated critical edition of a major Anglophone Indian poet's work.
