Synopsis
A collection of powerfully political poetry and song, celebrating the lives and struggle of one of India’s most marginalised groups.
Miyah poetry is a literary movement of protest poetry by Bengali-Muslims living in the chars (low-lying islands prone to floods and erosion) of Assam. 20+ poets document stories of love, loss, and injustice, celebrating contemporary lives beyond mere victimisation, while also protesting bigotry, xenophobia, and social exclusion. Very rarely do we see translations of literature from India’s Northeast, a contested region seen as ‘off the map’ of India proper, or from the hundreds of languages which are not official at either national or state level. This volume will include songs alongside written poems, resisting the marginalisation of oral literatures and by extension the people who produce them.

Vendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. WINNER of the English PEN AwardA first-of-its-kind collection of poetry and song from India's Assam region.The 'Miyah' community of the Northeast Indian state of Assam is formed from the descendants of migrant Bengali-Muslims living in the chars (low-lying islands prone to floods and erosion). Very rarely do we see translations of literature from India's Northeast, a contested region seen as 'off the map' of India proper, or from the hundreds of languages which are not official at either the national or state level. In poetry and song originally written mostly in Assamese or local dialects spoken by the community, over twenty voices are brought together in this anthology to document deeply intimate stories of nature, loss, and yearning, foregrounding these contemporary lives beyond mere victimisation.From folk river-songs as poems to love poetry, the islands and riverbanks of the chars and chaporis of the Brahmaputra River become both background and metaphor in this anthology, never shying away from the prismatic effect of water. Curated by Shalim M. Hussain, a leading figure in the Miyah poetry movement, Again I Hear These Waters is an offering, a gathering. Miyah poetry is a literary movement of protest poetry by Bengali-Muslims living in the chars (low-lying islands prone to floods and erosion) of Assam. 20+ poets document stories of love, loss, and injustice, celebrating contemporary lives beyond mere victimisation.
