Throughout October 2006, Arundhathi Subramaniam will visit six cities around the UK. In addition to reading her own engaging poetry, these events will feature Arundhathi Subramaniam discussing India’s contemporary culture through the poems she has selected for the site, the many languages from which they are drawn, and the significance of these poems being translated into English – often for the first time. The tour is presented in association with Poetry International Web, with support from Visiting Arts and the British Council.
