Description
Comprising 47 poems originally written by acclaimed writer Thangjam Ibopishak who writes in Manipuri/Meiteilon, The Smell of Man as an act of poetry introduces the English-speaking world to his thematically wide-ranging poetry. The book is translated by Robin S Ngangom, who considers that Ibopishak writes about a city that dehumanises it dwellers.
In his foreword to the book, poet and cultural theorist Ranjit Hoskote wrote, ‘The Small of Man is wonderfully timely and welcome book. The political is omnipresent in these poems, which are attuned to the everyday emergencies of heavily militarised North-eastern India.’
The political is omnipresent in these poems, which are attuned to the everyday emergencies of heavily militarised NE India. In poem after courageous poem, the poet articulates his scepticism towards a State premised on technocracy, military control, and spectacle.
