About Lunchtime Lyrics

Lunchtime Lyrics is an informal weekly gathering for those interested in reading, listening to, and discussing lyric poetry from different parts of South Asia. (12:30 to 1:20pm, room TBD)

Each week, one of us will present a poem along with our translation; the series is thus a chance for people to share their work (or simply poetry that they enjoy), and for others to learn more about poetic traditions with which they might not be familiar. Most of all, Lunchtime Lyrics is intended to be a space for enjoying poetry (which is always easier when you have the assistance of someone intimately familiar with it)!

If you are interested in presenting or have questions, please contact either Thibaut d’Hubert (dhubert@uchicago.edu), Tyler Williams (twwilliams@uchicago.edu), or Francesca Chubb-Confer (fchubbconfer@uchicago.edu). We hope to see you at Lunchtime Lyrics sometime this term!
