While the last ten years have seen an explosion of South Asian American fiction in the United States, little attention has been given to the flourishing voices in South Asian American poetry until now. Pegasus is pleased to host the West Coast launch of Indivisible  An Anthology of Contemporary South Asian American Poetry. Featuring 49 South Asian American poets, including both established writers and younger award-winning authors, this is the first anthology to showcase the works of contemporary South Asian American poets who are rewriting the cultural and literary landscape of America today.

 

Appearing at the August 26th reading will be contributors Ravi Chandra, M.D., Minal Hajratwala, Swati Rana and editors Neelanjana Banerjee, Summi Kaipa, and  Pireeni Sundaralingam.

 

“Rarely does one have the pleasure of seeing so many poets violate the truth that no one can be in two places at once. Indivisible provides hundreds of local poetic delights and deserves a place among the best anthologies of poetry.”
