The bloodaxe book of contemporary indian poets, paperback/jeet thayil

Jeet Thayils definitive selection covers 55 years of Indian poetry in English.

It is the first anthology to represent not just the major poets of the past half-century - the canonical writers who have dominated Indian poetry and publishing since the 1950s - but also the different kinds of poetry written by an extra-ordinary range of younger poets who live in many other countries.

It is a groundbreaking global anthology of 70 poets writing in a common language, responding to shared traditions, different cultures and contrasting lives in the changing modern world.
