Event Description

You are cordially invited to the launch of Aishwarya Iyer’s first book of poems, The Grasp of Things, which establishes a new lyrical ‘I’ in Indian Anglophone poetry—that of the woman who wants to claim urban spaces as her own. She will be in conversation with Devika Rege, author of Quarterlife (2023) about the book. Aishwarya Iyer is a prolific writer, whose poems, fiction and critical prose have appeared in journals such as The Bombay Literary Magazine, Humanities Underground, Almost Island, ASAP Art, Muse India, Pratik, Berfrois, Firmament and Poetry at Sangam, among others. Her drawings have appeared most recently in Aainanagar. She teaches at O.P. Jindal Global University in Sonipat, India, and is working on a book of short stories. Devika Rege was born in Pune and lives in Bangalore. She is the author of the award-winning novel 'Quarterlife'. Her work has also appeared in publications including The Bombay Literary Magazine and Asia Literary Review.
