No Entry for the New Sun: Translations from Modern Marathi Dalit Poetry
- Arjun Dangle (Editor)
- A powerful testament to social poetry, and to the powerful voices emerging in Indian language poetry.
Poetry has a much larger readership among the Indian languages than among Indian English readers.
Thus, there is more incentive to write poetry in these languages.
Particularly for the disenfranchised, the illiterate and those at the margins of society, like the mother
who works lifting cement and sand for construction work, this poetry can at least be read out and understood.
It is this immediacy that gives these poems much of their power.

Dark Sun & the Women Who Wore a Hat
- Kamal Desai (Author)
- This translation provides access to the major works of a leading Marathi writer. Kamal Desai's fiction is focused on the micro levels of inner life
where experience is held together by the compelling and never predictable struggle for selfhood. Nearly always, subtle and ongoing antagonisms structure
and threaten Kamal Desai's imagined communities. Before she can tear down the walls of the temple of the Dark Sun (Kala Surya) the protagonist must
extricate herself from its tenacious and pervasive hold on her inner life. In the much acclaimed "Woman Wearing a Hat" (Hat Ghalnari Bai), a woman asserts
her right to a Promethean venture in the face of crippling opposition.
