“Mist soars on the river, my door splits free of its hinges:/ My children’s children, and those I will never see —/ Generations swarm in me,/ Born to this North American soil, dreamers in a new world…” By Meena Alexander.
“Poetry is, and has always been, the art of uttering multiple truths in a single line. It’s a celebration of plurality, of contradiction… Poetry compels us to confront uncertainty. That makes it the very antithesis of the fundamentalist impulse…” A Sangam (confluence) of three Indian women poets, featuring Arundhathi Subramaniam, Meena Alexander and Priya Sarukkai Chabria.
