World English Poetry

World English Poetry, selected and edited by Sudeep Sen — a major voice

in the world of poetry of today — is a fascinating collection of

contemporary English language poetry from around the globe. Carefully

chosen to represent the diverse, truly multicultural ethos and

transnational nature of the poetry of our time, the anthology brings

together both award winning poets of international fame and emerging

talents who may not be well known outside of their countries. The rich

array of subjects, styles and poetic expressions aptly reflects the

diversity of cultures and poetic traditions from which the poets come and

the range of innovations and experimentations that mark today’s poetry.

Sudeep Sen has drawn on his long experience of editing poetry anthologies

to come up with a collection that is truly international in its scope and

range. The first of its kind from South Asia,* World English Poetry* shows

all the promise of finding a place among the finest poetry anthologies

compiled anywhere.
