Product details

No Other World is the first book-length collection of Kunwar Narain's poems in English, translated by his son, Apurva Narain, selected from five volumes of his poetry across as many decades. The poems are a complex interplay of metaphysical imagination, playful irony and tentative sentiment. They course through history, intimate and meditative by turns, sometimes addressing socio-political realities and sometimes the absurd, at all times exhibiting the almost painful honesty so characteristic of Narain's poetry.
