<b>Valmiki''s <i>Ramayana</i> provides the inspiration for this vibrant collection of poems, each of which acts as a persuasive encounter between English poetry and Indian myth.</b><br><br><i>After</i> is a collection of poems inspired by Valmiki’s <i>Ramayana</i>, one of Asia’s foundational epic poems and a story cycle of incalculable historical importance. But <i>After</i> does not just come after the <i>Ramayana</i>. On each successive page, Vivek Narayanan brings the resources of contemporary English poetry to bear on the Sanskrit epic. In a work that warrants comparison with Christopher Logue’s and Alice Oswald’s reshapings of Homer, and Anne Carson’s <i>Autobiography of Red</i>, Narayanan allows the ancient voice of the poem to engage with modern experience, initiating a transformative conversation across time.
