Subhashini Kaligotla will be reading from her debut poetry collection, Bird of the Indian Subcontinent. The book was selected by poet Arundhathi Subramaniam for The (Great) Indian Poetry Collective’s second annual Emerging Poets Prize. It is a brilliant testament to the Collective’s mission of discovering and nurturing the best new poets coming out of India and the diaspora. "These are poems of precision, strength, and radiant surprise," says Subramaniam of the debut volume, while poet and novelist Jeet Thayil calls the poet's eye unerring.
