A tour-de-force of complex form, this novel explores the politics of body and text, desire and distraction, and the texture that dictates topography and cartography.
Widely recognised as a prominent, contemporary poet, Sudeep Sen seeks to push the boundaries of the written word with his new work, Erotext. Filled with short, gripping pieces of poetry under the five heads of desire, disease, delusion, dream and downpour, Sudeep shows us that an endless stream of words isn’t required to speak volumes. Displaying his mastery over metre and the barely controlled power of the compact lines, the poetry is intense, moving, captivating and leaves the reader wanting more. Speaking of love, pain, longing, desire, darkness and much more, this collection is a true reflection of contemporary poetry.

Sudeep Sen's Fractals includes a wide swath of his poetry, from 1980 to the present, as well as a representative collection of his translations into English of other poets writing in Bengali, Hindu, Urdu and other languages. Sen's poems are both vivid observations and insightful meditations, often ekphrastic in that they are inspired by other art forms -- from modern European painters to classical Indian dancers. Narratives generally underlie his poems, giving us stories from around the world, past and present, from the grit of war to the mysteries of mythology.
