I've got one of my favorite co-translations in this cool anthology. Nights at the Calcutta Café is a result of an enriching collaboration between poets from Calcutta, Montreal, and Norfolk, VA originally curated in memory of a beloved, erstwhile Indian restaurant near Columbia University. Cheers to my fellow writers and editors Peter Schulman and Somrita Urni Ganguly.
