Description
A collection of poetry and song from India's Assam region, bringing together twenty voices to document intimate stories of nature, loss, and yearning. Curated by Shalim M. Hussain, this anthology foregrounds the contemporary lives of the Miyah community, beyond mere victimisation. The poems and songs, originally written in Assamese or local dialects, explore themes such as love poetry and folk river-songs, using the islands and riverbanks of the Brahmaputra River as both background and metaphor. This unique collection sheds light on a contested region often overlooked, offering a glimpse into the lives of those living beyond the national narrative. A rare translation from India's Northeast, Again I Hear These Waters is an important gathering of voices that bring to life the deeply personal stories of this community.
