Description
Digital Monsoon by Siddhartha Bose is a raw and uncompromising collection of poems that celebrates the dynamism of urban landscapes. In this follow-up to his acclaimed debut Kalagora, Bose proposes the poet as a twenty-first century beatnik, devouring the margins of the city. The book takes readers on a breathless journey through post-industrial landscapes and the poet's hometowns of Mumbai and Kolkata, where extraordinary visions and apocalyptic London populated by technologised bodies come alive. Composed in Bose's trademark rhythmical style, Digital Monsoon is an updated Jazz Age poetic that fuses old stories with new techniques and stanzas. With poems that burst with the sprung dazzle of jazz, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to experience the modern edge of poetry.
