Synopsis
No Other World is Kunwar Narain’s first full-length collection of poems to be published in English translation, and consists of poems selected from five volumes across five decades. Frequently inspired by characters, legends and actual events in India’s rich and varied history, Narain writes with wisdom and a humanity that is at once compassionate and unremittingly moral. In his son’s beautifully-modulated translations, Narain’s poems communicate themselves to the English-language reader with freshness and energy. Born in 1927, Kunwar Narain now lives in Delhi. His literary output has spread over more than half a century of Hindi literature, and is concerned with post-independence India. Narain’s poetry, short stories, literary criticism, essays, translations and varied writings on the arts have been translated internationally and received many literary awards world-wide.
