A poet’s work … to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it from going to sleep. Salman Rushdie
Memories
The Kolkata Poetry Confluence (KPC) was a three-day-long multilingual festival of poetry. It was held on 10th, 11th and 12th June, 2022, at the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre (EZCC), Kolkata, with the primary focus on understanding where poetry resides within this divided world.
On Day 3, 12th June, the session titled “Anuranana: Echoes Through Languages” was an invigorating discussion on what is essentially lost or gained when poetry travels from one language to another, from one medium to another, and eventually becomes new creations with every act of translation. The editor-in-chief of Antonym Magazine, Bishnupriya Chowdhury, was in conversation with musician and writer, Anindya Chatterjee and film-director, screenwriter and translator, Sudeshna Roy.
