Reviews - Potkar is a convincing raconteur and can tell a story well. - K. Srilata, The Hindu Her hypnotic prose weaves intense narratives... nicely offset by effective haiku. - Amanda Bell, Haibun Today A sense of musicality never deserts Potkar's words. - Siddharth Dasgupta, Joao-Roque Literary Journal Blurbs - “Rochelle has the haibuneer’s gift of vivid succinctness: ‘Manojji is a curious man. His eyes and ears are always shifting.’ The author could be describing herself, who and what she is—her senses alive, feeding on each other, wanting nothing more than to capture our world in the honey-trap of words, a world that is slipping away from us: autumn whirlwind . . . / a child gr...
Karmic Chanting
Foreword Followers of contemporary poetry who’ve heard Sonnet Mondal reading his poems at international festivals will know something of the distinctiveness of his voice and the philosophising delicacy of his work. In Karmic Chanting he has assembled many of his most beautiful recent poems. His is a poetry of light and shadow, of shimmering childhood and reflective adulthood: ‘My mind is heavier than my soul,’ he writes, and ‘I wish I had left myself / to the charity of wilderness.’ Here we find something of the tension between inner and outer worlds—and the way one betrays the other—as well as the remembered pain of such perceptions. Here is the poet ‘as a meditating owl / h...

Literature and Power
With references to the theoretical framework of Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu, this book offers a critical investigation into such epic issues as the end of art and the inherent laws of literature’s evolution, while conflating the two into one major argumentation. The book proceeds from Hegel's claim of "the end of art" to tackle the universal yet essential problem of literature: its legitimacy in a sociological sense. It invests Bourdieu’s sociological terms -- power, capital, habitus, field, etc. into the study of literature and art while taking on other theoretical enquiries, particularly the Marxist exploration into ideology, as well as aspects of economics and communication studies. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of the sociology of literature, cultural studies, and those with specific interests in Chinese literature, literary and art theory.
An Afternoon in My Mind by Sonnet Mondal
Sonnet Mondal's An Afternoon in My Mind is a young man's meditation on time, filled with the recognition that it is too late to return to childhood. It is both personal and political; concerned with questions of the spirit and of matter. The plain-spoken tone of these poems is a cover for their deeper metaphysical inquiries. Narrative saturates every observation: "A man stands holding his bicycle / in the bus stop shed," Mondal writes in "On a Snowy Morning." "When he rides away the story will follow him." And though the poems investigate loss, yearning, and solitude, they do not forgo humor, as in the wry, wary "Another Reason to Live": "Someone advised me to watch / monochromatic films and let whiskey / slip across a placid tongue to come out of this swamp." Mondal seems to have eschewed this advice: his tongue is not placid; it speaks with an impassioned clarity full of energetic surprise: "I went inside a forest to sip some solitude / and now I am stuck in a wildfire." - Catherine Barnett
