Windham-Campbell Prize Talk | Sources of Poetry
Zaffar Kunial about the sources of his poetry, from song lyrics to family histories to his undying love for the sport of English cricket, with Langdon Hammer, Niel Gray Jr. Professor of English at Yale. With formally inventive poems drawing on multiple languages and literary traditions, Kunial explores the complexities of hybrid cultural identities in an intimate and resonant lyric voice.
