This collection uses a transnational approach to study contemporary English-language poetry composed by poets of South Asian origin. The poetry contains themes, motifs, and critiques of social changes, and the contributors seek to encapsulate the continually changing environments that these contemporary poets write about. The contributors show that English-language poetry in South Asia is hybridized with imagery and figurative language adapted from the vernacular languages of South Asia. The chapters examine women’s issues, concerns of marginalized groups—such as the Dalit community and the people of Northeastern India—, social changes in Sri Lanka, the changing society of Pakistan, and the formation of the identity in the several nation states that resulted from the British colony of India.

Redolent with love, life, history and longings the half-confession knocks at multiple corridors of social faiths and hearts. Messengers of the old spirits, uniformed in yellow Sarangi’s poems are the tapestry of lost whiteness of yesterday and the rivers of voices tomorrow.
