Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry A one-of-a-kind collection of work by one of India's best contemporary poets. Arvind Krishna Mehrotra is one of the most celebrated Indian poets writing in English and an important translator from Indian languages, but until now his work has rarely been available in the United States and Britain. Mehrotra’s poetry combines the commonplace and the strange, the autobiographical and the fabulous, and reflects an intense and original engagement with American poetry, especially the work of William Carlos Williams and the Beats. This book provides a comprehensive picture of Mehrotra’s achievements as a poet and translator and includes a striking new poetic sequence.

The Gathasaptasati is perhaps the oldest extant anthology of poetry from South Asia, containing our very earliest examples of secular verse. Reputed to have been compiled by the Satavahana king Hala in the second century CE, it is a celebrated collection of 700 verses in Maharashtri Prakrit, composed in the compact, distilled gatha form. The anthology has attracted several learned commentaries and now, through Arvind Krishna Mehrotra’s acclaimed translation of 207 verses from the anthology, readers of English at last have access to its poems. The speakers are mostly women and, whether young or old, married or single, they touch on the subject of sexuality with frankness, sensitivity and, every once in a while, humour, which never ceases to surprise. The Absent Traveler includes an elegant and stimulating translator’s note and an afterword by Martha Ann Selby that provides an admirable introduction to Prakrit literature in general and the Gathasaptasati in particular.

Gathering the work of a lifetime, spanning four books of poetry, and including thirty-four new poems, Collected Poems is the first comprehensive collection of the work of one of India’s most influential English language poets. Arvind Krishna Mehrotra’s poetry has long been known for its mixing of the commonplace and the strange, the autobiographical and the fabulous, in which the insignificant details of everyday life-whether contemporary or historical-bring larger patterns into focus. Mehrotra’s celebrated translations from Indian languages (Prakrit, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali) take up a third of Collected Poems. Selections from The Absent Traveller and Songs of Kabir are followed by those of Nirala, Vinod Kumar Shukla, Mangalesh Dabral, Pavankumar Jain and Shakti Chattopadhyay. Together they tell the story of Indian poetry over two millennia.

Located At The Confluence Of The Ganga, Yamuna And The Invisible Saraswati, Allahabad, Or Godville The Babu Translation Of The Name That Mark Twain Came Across Has Been Frequented By Pilgrims For Two Thousand Years. However, It Was Only Towards The Latter Half Of The Nineteenth Century That Allahabad Shed Its Identity As Another Dusty North Indian Town And Emerged As One Of The Premier Cities Of The Raj And The Capital Of The North-West Provinces. This Metamorphosis, Ironically, Was Brought About By Colonial Rule, Whose Beginnings Fanny Parkes Has Described At Great Length. Allahabad Was The Home Not Only Of The Pioneer Newspaper, Where Kipling Was Employed, But Also Of Literary Figures Like Harivansh Rai Bachchan And Suryakant Tripathi Nirala . Its University, One Of The Oldest In The Country, Attracted Students From Far And Wide. Visited By The Buddhist Scholar Hsiuan Tsang In The Seventh Century, The City Is Today Visited By Spiritual Con Men And Con Women, As Well As Ordinary Pilgrims, Who Come To Attend The Magh And Kumbh Melas. As Kama Maclean S Essay Shows, Far From Being An Ancient Religious Festival, The Kumbh Mela, Which Is Held Every Twelve Years, Originated As Recently As The 1860S. Colonial Allahabad, Along With The Intellectual Energy That Colonialism Generated, Has All But Disappeared. The Bungalows Have Gone, And So Have The Last Of Those Who Inhabited Them. Their Descendants Can Only Recall A Lost Time. In 1824, Bishop Heber Wrote That Allahabad Was A Desolate And Ruinous Place. Three Years Later, Mirza Ghalib Compared It To Hell, Only Hell Was Better. But For Jawaharlal Nehru, Allahabad Was Where He Was Born And Where He Cut His Political Teeth; For Nayantara Sehgal, It Was A Model For Civilized Living; For Ved Mehta, It Was, Like Other Indian Cities, A Jumble Of British, Muslim, And Hindu Influences ; For Saeed Jaffrey, It Was A Place Where A Good Time Could Be Had, While One Picked Up A Decent Education; For Gyanranjan, It Was A City One Could Fall In Love With In One S Youth; And For I. Allan Sealy, It Was His Parents Home Town, A Reservoir Of Family Lore. The Last Bungalow: Writings On Allahabad Is A Memorial To A Now Forgotten City, Whose Rise Was As Meteoric As Its Fall.
