For, in your tongue, i cannot fit: Encounters with prison
Edited by Gupta, Shilpa
For, in your tongue, i cannot fit: Encounters with prison - Chennai Context 2022 - V. P.
A BOOK THAT SPEAKS POWERFULLY OF HUMAN RESISTANCE AND COURAGE
Conceived in dialogue with artist Shilpa Gupta’s multimedia installation, the book brings together many of the poets featured in the installation—every one of them persecuted for their words. It is an immersive experience, featuring illustrations and images alongside the written pieces. It is also the culmination of an effort of collaboration and support, often under extremely difficult conditions, forming a network that spans countries. The result is an anthology that speaks truth to power and is a testament to the community of words.
