Suparna Ghosh
is a writer and painter, who integrates illustrations with poetry
and incorporates poetry with paintings. Words and visuals often
coalesce to create a montage or a vignette, a poem, a sketch or
a painting, or a segment of each in one. Sandalwood Thoughts consists
of creative works conceived over several years, exploring elements
of surprise, joy, pathos, yearning, questioning, wondering and wandering,
myths and fantasies. In addition, she has published two more books
of poetry. Dots and Crosses is a long prose poem with sketches,
with a CD version, where she reads her poem to the accompaniment
of original music; Occasionally is her latest collection of verses
and ghazals in classical Indo-Persian style, accompanied with a
CD, Occasional Ghazal. Suparna's writing has been published in several
journals and anthologies, locally and internationally. She was one
of the original members of the Art Bar, the longest-running poetry
reading series in Canada and a founding member of Pegasus, a poetry
group at the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto. Reading at Knife Fork Book Anniversary . ... At the League of Canadian Poets booth .......Ciut 89.5 FM Interview with Nancy Buller |
