While the last ten years have seen an explosion of South Asian American fiction in the United States, little attention has been given to the flourishing voices in South Asian American poetry until now. Celebrating National Poetry Month, we present the West Coast launch of Indivisible: An Anthology of Contemporary South Asian American Poetry. Featuring 49 South Asian American poets, including both established writers and younger award-winning authors, this is the first anthology to showcase the works of contemporary South Asian American poets who are rewriting the cultural and literary landscape of America today. Indivisible’s editors Neelanjana Banerjee, Summi Kaipa and Pireeni Sundaralingram will be talking this evening. Joining them tonight are contributors Ravi Chandra, M.D., Tanuja Mehrotra and Swati Rana.
