HS Shivaprakash's new book of poetry, ಮಹಾಕಾಲ | Mahakala, consists of poems that articulate experiences beyond the time of history and the time of the unconscious. Written during home confinement following the covid tragedy, these poems seek to break out of the paralyzing hold of historical time to rearticulate still time, and also express the light and beauty of the spirituality hidden away in the folds of darkness within darkness. Arising during the dark covid months, these new articulations of experience however stretch over to find meaning in other times as well. In this episode of BIC Talks, the poet and academician will be in conversation with Chandan Gowda, alongside JV Sreenivasa Murthy, Siraj Ahmed, Ashadevi and Rajendra Prasad. The conversation is bilingual, in both Kannada and English. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in August 2024.
