This book, where nine poets enter into meaningful dialouges with intercolours, is the result of a three-day seminar organised by Sahitya Akademi and the University of Hyderabad in 1999. What comes out of the dialouge is a sense of the contemporary scene in Indian Poetry in English, which has become bolder and definitely more open as it engages with the problems of articulation. Nine leading Indian poets Keki N Daruwala, Eunice D' Souza, Shiv K Kumar, Menka Shivdasani, Hoshang Merchant, Rukmini Bhaya Nair, Bibhu Padhi, Raj Rao and Makarand Paranjape reflect upon the current Indian English Poetry scene, even as their poems, introduced judiciously into the interviews, come together is a unique anthology of Contemporary Indian Poetry in English.
