Six poems and a book

This is a plug for one book and six poems.

First, the book: Satyavati:Fault Lines, is an e-book by Karthika Nair. It’s an itsy-bitsy preview of her forthcoming book Until the Lions and is part of Harper Collins India’s Harper XXI series. Can be bought here.

The poems, by Anupama Raju, are on Poetry at Sangam House. More of Anupama’s work can be found across the Net, including here.

Behind the scenes

Back stories are always instructive. And sometimes entertaining. So it is a delight to read one that is both instructive and entertaining.

For a behind the scenes look at what went into the stories in Desh, dancer/choreographer Akram Khan’s new production, go here, here and here. These back stories, of a sort, have been written by Karthika Nair, a poet, writer and dance producer. Oh, and in the interests of full disclosure, Karthika is a very good friend.
