About the Book

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.

About the Author

Born in Lahore in 1947, ARVIND KRISHNA MEHROTRA is the author of four previous collections of poetry, Nine Enclosures (1976), Distance in Statute Miles (1982), Middle Earth (1984) and The Transfiguring Places (1998); two of translation, The Absent Traveller (1991) and Songs of Kabir (2011); and editor of the ground-breaking The Oxford India Anthology of Twelve Modern Indian Poets (1992). His other edited books include An Illustrated History of Indian Literature in English (2003) and Collected Poems in English by Arun Kolatkar (2010). As editor, anthologist, and translator, Mehrotra has done much to bring the work of Indian poets to a wider audience. Along with Adil Jussawalla, Gieve Patel and Arun Kolatkar, he was a founder member of the iconic poetry collective Clearing House. His collected essays, Partial Recall: Essays on Literature and Literary History appeared in 2012. He lives in Allahabad and Dehradun
