In this session of PEN@Prithvi, we present a reading by Mustansir Dalvi from his first collection of poems, Brouhahas of Cocks (Poetrywala, 2013).
Dalvi is a poet, translator and columnist. He is Professor at the Sir JJ College of Architecture, Bombay. Dalvi’s poems have been published in the e-zines Bakery of the Poets, Can We Have Our Ball Back, The Crescent Moon Journal, MiPo Best of Head Quarters 2003, MiPo Digital magazine, Octavo: Poetry Quarterly of the Alsop Review, Pierian Springs, PK Poetry List Anthology, Poetic Inspirations, Poets Against the War, Slow Trains, Snakeskin, Worm, and the Writer’s Hood. His poems have appeared in print in The Brown Critique, Poetry India: Voices of Silence, Poiesis: A Journal of the Poetry Circle Bombay, Poetry India: Emerging Voices, Time Out Mumbai and International Gallerie.
Dalvi’s poems are included in the anthologies These My Words: The Penguin Book of Indian Poetry (Eunice de Souza and Melanie Silgardo, editors), Mind Mutations (Sirrus Poe, editor), the Big Bridge Press Online Anthology of Contemporary Indian Poetry (Menka Shivdasani, editor) and in the forthcoming Anthology of Poetry for Young People (Jane Bhandari and Anju Makhija, editors; Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi).
Mustansir Dalvi’s 2012 English translation of Muhammad Iqbal’s influential Shikwa and Jawaab-e-Shikwa from the Urdu as Taking Issue and Allah’s Answer (Penguin Classics) has been described as ‘insolent and heretical’ and makes Iqbal’s verse accessible to the contemporary reader.
