Synopsis

Write to Me is a slim collection of thirty-five essays on various poetry collections published by Indians between 2020 and 2023 from within the country and its rich diaspora. Alert, attentive, astute, and arduous, the book offers an interesting synchronic statement on Indian Poetry in English in the present. These four years, marked unalterably by the crisis of the Pandemic, witnessed new roles and responsibilities for poetry. The essays in this book, by inviting readers to the numerous pleasures of poetry as a genre, hopes to draw them towards both the criticism of poetry and the poetry of criticism.
