November issue of PIW

The poets featured in November's issue employ various techniques of defamiliarisation to enable the reader to look anew at familiar objects and places, and at the act of writing itself. The China domain presents the work of avant-garde poet Fang Xianhai; Portugal's poet this month is Daniel Jonas; Zimbabwe publishes poems by Freedom Nyamubaya. Belgium features two poets: Geert van Istendael and Ruth Lasters, and there are three poets from India: Oxford University Professor of Poetry nominee Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Telugu poet Varavara Rao and Giriraj Kiradoo, who writes in Hindi.
