But \u003ci\u003eAfter\u003c\/i\u003e does not just come after the \u003ci\u003eRamayana\u003c\/i\u003e. On each successive page, Vivek Narayanan brings the resources of contemporary English poetry to bear on the Sanskrit epic. In a work that warrants comparison with Christopher Logue's and Alice Oswald's reshapings of Homer, and Anne Carson's \u003ci\u003eAutobiography of Red\u003c\/i\u003e, Narayanan allows the ancient voice of the poem to engage with modern experience, initiating a transformative conversation across time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivek Narayanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681376462","brand":"New York Review of Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439287603337,"sku":"9781681376462","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bcfaf4a8-7a8b-41e3-a1b1-27865e02e91f.jpg?v=1715812854","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/after-9781681376462","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
