Reihe: Literature Now

The critic, poet, and scholar Vidyan Ravinthiran searches for alternatives to the standard models of writing about poetry, pursuing close, imaginative readings of a variety of authors. Discussing neglected writers and those well-known in the West, these essays are unabashedly passionate and subjective yet keenly analytical and investigative.
