Add to basket'EXPERIMENTAL AND INQUISITIVE, THESE ARE POEMS THAT DEMAND AN IMAGINATION WHERE "DRAVIDIAN" IS STRUCK OUT FOR "DARWINIAN" AND "WHALE" REPLACED BY "WHILE", TIME BECOMING SPACE LIKE IT DOES ON A CLOCKFACE.' -SUMANA ROY
In his latest poetry collection, Arjun Rajendran begins by resurrecting voices and stories from 18th-century Pondicherry: of a French ship that must change its flag to render itself invisible to the English fleet, of blind men contemplating a lunar eclipse or an unfortunate condemned to the absurdity of a second execution.
Then jumping across centuries, the other two sections in this book explore intimacy, travel, hauntings and generational angst.
Arjun Rajendran is the author of Snake Wine (Les Éditions du Zaporogue, 2014), The Cosmonaut in Hergé's Rocket (Paperwall, 2017) and a chapbook, Your Baby Is Starving (Aainanagar/VAYAVYA, 2017). Arjun was the Charles Wallace Fellow in Creative Writing (University of Stirling, Scotland, 2018). He is also the poetry editor at The Bombay Literary Magazine and the founder of The Quarantine Train, a poetry community that is a response to the great pandemic.
