First Poetry & Poetics Workshop of Winter Quarter: Professor Kaneesha Parsard on Lalhibari Sharma (in collaboration with the Working Group on Contemporary Migration: Poetics, Theory, Practice)

Thursday, January 16 at 5pm in Rosenwald 405

Professor Kaneesha Parsard on Lalhibari Sharma

(in collaboration with the Working Group on Contemporary Migration: Poetics, Theory, Practice)

Please read the attached excerpt from Lalhibari Sharma’s I Even Regret Night in preparation for our discussion: Sharma, I Even Regret Night Holi Songs

Professor Kaneesha Parsard will concentrate her introduction on the two sections, “The Tale of Demarara” and “Demarara’s Condition” – the attached excerpt includes the further section, “Transliteration for Chauntal Singers” and the Translator’s Note as we thought these would also be interesting/useful

Refreshments will be provided, and the discussion is free and open to all. We hope to see you there!
