Hosts Lucy van Oldenbarneveld and Sean Wilson chat with award winning author and poet Souvankham Thammavongsa about her best selling debut novel, Pick a Colour, and with Irish author Elaine Feeney about her latest, Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way.
Join us for a conversation between poet and editor Ellen Chang-Richardson and writer and visual artist Manahil Bandukwala about her poetry collection, MONUMENT .
MONUMENT is a conversation with Mughal Empress Mumtaz Mahal, which moves her legacy beyond the Taj Mahal.
MONUMENT upturns notions of love, monumentalisation, and empire by exploring buried facets of Mumtaz Mahal's story. The collection layers linear time and geographical space to chart the continuing presence of historical legacies. It considers what alternate futures could have been possible. Who are we when we continue to make the same mistakes? Beyond distance, time, and boundaries, what do we still carry?
