Making Love to an Ancient Poem: In Conversation with Arundhathi Subramaniam, by Graziano Krätli Interviews [email protected] Mon, 11/18/2024 - 07:26 In this interview focused on devotional Indian poetry (bhakti), Arundhathi Subramaniam (b. 1973) discusses her interest and involvement in this genre as editor and translator, the impact and influence it had on her own poetry, and the contributions made by contemporary Indian women, both as poets and translators. Graziano Krätli: Arundhathi, as I was thinking about our upcoming conversation, I realized that it could easily revolve around two books of yours, both published in 2014. Together, they seem to represent, in a complementary and contrapuntal way, a continuing source of inspiration for contemporary Indian poets writing in English. At the same time, they provide an innovative creative space in which women poets have been playing a significant and increasingly groundbreaking role. The first of these two books, Eating God, is an anthology of bhakti poetry that features a comprehensive selection of sources, matched by an equally remarkable group of translators, most of them (yourself included) accomplished poets themselves. Would you please tell me a little more about bhakti and its practitioners, including its contemporary translators and interpreters? Arundhathi Subramaniam: Thank you, Graziano. That’s an interesting place to start. Let me begin by offering some sense of... Continue reading at 'World Literature Today'
