For The Love Of Pork

By Goirick Brahmachari

Goirick Brahmachari is the winner of the Muse India - Satish Verma Young Writer Award (Poetry) 2016 and The Srinivas Rayaprol Poetry Prize, 2016.

"Drawing upon a rich seam of autobiography, navigating evanescent hillscapes and cityscapes while being pursued by a dogged fear of home and homelessness, Goirick Brahmachari's poems often blur the distinction between the lyric and the narrative with evocative skill"- Robin Ngangom

"These ardent, heartfelt, gritty poems open up a surprisingly new poetic landscape - that of the many border crossings, highways, and derelict towns of India's northeast and its surroundings. Brahmachari's poetry maps a poignant, on-the-road coming-of-age. This is a journey whose criss-crossing movement also takes in the arid, hallucinatory modernity of the country's capital. To the experience of belonging to several places as well as none For the Love of Pork brings an unexpected and memorable flavour."- Anjum Hasan

"Goirick's poems are marked, all at once, by sense of place and wanderlust, by rage and nostalgia, by concealment and veracity. You will travel landscapes and infinite multiplicities."- Janice Pariat
