Nights at the Calcutta Café
Files
Description
Nights at the Calcutta Café is a result of an enriching collaboration between poets from Calcutta, Montreal, and Norfolk, VA originally curated in memory of a beloved, erstwhile Indian restaurant near Columbia University. The poems delve into issues of loneliness, poverty, belonging and of course love during the pandemic as a way of breaking geographical barriers when the world was still separated. The poems accentuate the differences between these cities but also urban commonalities that highlight global solidarity in times of great calamity. We have assembled a group of highly respected, world-wide legendary poets who have contributed to this volume and is the fruition of an on-line poetry event meant to bridge geographical boundaries and distances in the spirit of an exchange of words and ideas.
