An Interview with Amit Majmudar (new episode)

An episode from 4/3/24: Tonight, I interview the poet, novelist, and translator, Amit Majmudar. You can find a full list of his books ⁠here⁠, but we spend most of our time talking about his 2018 translation of the Bhagavad Gita, ⁠Godsong⁠. Along the way, we also get his take on many of the preoccupations of this podcast: how a life devoted to creativity, religion, family, and an awareness of history and tradition can still be maintained in this strange time of ours. His book recommendations at the end are: John D. Smith’s abridged translation of the ⁠Mahabharata⁠ S. Radhakrishnan's translation of the principal Upanishads The Princeton edition of the ⁠Ramayana⁠    Roberto Calasso’s ⁠Ardor⁠ You can support Human Voices Wake Us ⁠here⁠, or by ordering any of my books: ⁠Notes from the Grid⁠, ⁠To the House of the Sun⁠, ⁠The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old⁠, and ⁠Bone Antler Stone⁠. I’ve also edited a handful of books in the ⁠S4N Pocket Poems⁠ series. Email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠.
