touching nadir

Touching Nadir is Sutapa Chaudhuri's second poetic collection after Broken Rhapsodies (2011). It contains a series of forty-three poetic fragments, in the form of a monologue, that make up the body of a single poem, projecting the fragmentary, incomprehensible and alienated nature of existence itself that refuse to get resolved or cohere into preplanned, neat patterns of thought and images.

A bilingual poet, a translator and an academic, Sutapa Chaudhuri, PhD, teaches English at a college in Howrah, West Bengal.
