An incredible chance to experience an online writing workshop with one of the world’s most exciting radical thinkers, Indian poet, novelist and activist Meena Kandasamy.
About Writing Workshop with Meena Kandasamy
Described by the Independent as a 'one-woman, agit-prop literary-political movement', Meena Kandasamy is a poet, writer, translator, anti-caste activist and academic based in Chennai, India. Her extensive corpus includes two poetry collections, Touch (2006) and Ms Militancy (2010), as well as three novels, The Gypsy Goddess (2014), When I Hit You (2017) and Exquisite Cadavers (2019).
