A poet reads her work
"Like pixels trying to come together in a large, distorted image, we go about living. Juggling, falling, balancing that which we feel in our control. These poems emerge from the state of us": reads the prologue of Pixelated-Poems of Us, an anthology of 49 new poems by Navkirat Sodhi with ace photographers L.A.R (Laura and Rid Burman) and Tarun Vishwa contributing images from their personal work, complementing the written content.
The New Delhi-based Sodhi belongs to the cohort of young Indian poets eager to create a new oral tradition. Her co-conspirators aka close-friends are designer Gaurav Gupta and fashion director at a leading men's magazine Vijendra Bhardwaj. On Thursday night, a select audience that included actor Aditi Rao Hydari, designer Kunal Rawal and contemporary dancer and choreographer Astad Deboo, found their way around the Eva Room at Soho House, to ponder over poems recited by Sodhi from her latest book.
