The August issue is a celebration of poetry and translation in contemporary India. Mani Rao’s So That You Know is reviewed and excerpted alongside a wide-ranging conversation with the poet herself; Volga’s On the Banks of the Pampa is reviewed, excerpted, and debated in two translator interviews; and the meet-the-savarnas conversation arrives with sharp wit and unflinching sociological clarity. An issue about how language carries — and challenges — power.
