Description

After brings together a vibrant collection of poems that explore the intersection of English poetry and Indian myth. Inspired by Valmiki's Ramayana, one of Asia's foundational epic poems, this work reimagines the ancient voice of the poem in conversation with modern experience.

Vivek Narayanan's innovative approach allows for a transformative conversation across time, drawing on the resources of contemporary English poetry to reinterpret the Sanskrit epic. This collection is comparable to works such as Christopher Logue's and Alice Oswald's reshapings of Homer, and Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red.

With its unique blend of ancient and modern voices, After offers a compelling exploration of the enduring power of myth and poetry.
