Description
Kalagora is a debut poetry collection by Indian-born poet Siddhartha Bose. The book transforms cities into sites of fractured vision, where love and longing compete with the hybrid cityscape. Bose's volatile poetics reflects the multiplicity of his experiences, structured around five key themes: childhood and initiation, love, the city, and the tensions between different cultures. This collection is a powerful exploration of identity and belonging, spanning continents and cities from Calcutta to New York. With its filmic precision, extraordinary dare, and constant ingenuity, Kalagora introduces Bose as a poet well into his stride. The book is a vital work of 21st-century poetry, crammed with shock visions and narratives that come together to create a cumulative effect that is both powerful and intense.
