Runa Bandyopadhyay and I did a bilingual poetry reading followed by a conversation with several Bengali poets (January 29 and 30, 2022).
In the first video I read “If Sappho Were a UFO,” “Shelter in Place,” “Zeno’s Way,” “Strike!,” and “Covidity” (all from Topsy Turvy except “Strike!,” which is from Recalculating.
In the second video, Runa joins me for a conversation with Pronab Kumar Dey, Swapan Roy, Umapada Kar, Prabhat Mukherjee, Pranab K. Chakraborty, Prashanta GuhaMajumder, Kaushik Chakrabarty, Rudra Kinshuk, and Abhishek Ray.
