Timglaset proudly presents NAME – AMEN by Aditya Bahl, a collection of visual poetry with a strong sense of personal urgency. From the author’s foreword:
This project, as I understand it now, is the remnant of my ambition to cure myself of my “double consciousness” as a poet. During this period I had been strenuously trying to work myself out of the influence of a decidedly western poetry and poetics, and yet, it was as if the more I would try to subvert the western paragon of newness, the more I would end up imitating the “great” western poets. (- – -) And it culminated in a very painful and traumatic breakdown of the language I had been working with. A total breakdown at that, right down to its bare physical elements.
Aditya Bahl is a member of a Delhi-based marxist collective, Radical Notes. Since 1988, a collection of minimal poems composed during 2013-2015, were published by Delete Press. A chapbook of visual poems, titled This Is Visual Poetry by Aditya Bahl, was published by Dan Waber in 2012. Bahl’s translations of Muktibodh’s poetry are forthcoming in Social Text Journal.
