Description
Bilingual English / Punjabi edition
Translated by the author with Julia Casterton, Vanessa Gebbie, Ajmer Rode, Jaspal Singh, Stephen Watts and John Welch
The Parrot, the Horse & the Man, Amarjit Chandan’s second full-length collection from Arc, is every bit as compelling and memorable as his first. Here is a poet who finds beauty in the ordinary, who is able to build images of the every day into universal concepts that inspire a sense of awe. There is also a silence in Chandan’s poetry, or, as the poet Arundhathi Subramanian puts it “a deep sense of the unspoken… [where] words are precarious and makeshift signposts in a vast hinterland of memory.”
Each of Chandan’s poems proceeds in its own way and has its own form. Yet in all of them there is an assembly of different space-time dimensions.
– John Berger
