“Poetry or Pogrom” – Interview at Erbacce Journal

Not often at all that I even acknowledge poetry (though my first paid work was a poem about concrete and pollution) but it’s even less often that I like the poetry. Even if there is much more to say about that Adorno quote (see “Pantomime Terror” for extended discussion of the paragraphs surrounding, and repetitions of, that quote). Nevertheless, you need to know that “Debasis Mukhopadhyay is a poet from Montreal, Canada. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in journals & anthologies, including Posit, The Curly Mind (UK), Erbacce (UK), Manneqüin.Haüs, Yellow Chair Review, I Am Not A Silent Poet (UK), The New Verse News, Writers Against Prejudice (UK), Rat’s Ass Review : Love & Ensuing Madness, Algebra of Owls, Of/With, Walking Is Still Honest, Leaving My Shadow : A Tribute to Anna Akhmatova, …” … and many more. Check out this link below to an interview with the poet that is worth it for the neglected inner life alone, but is also more…
