With daring poetic forms, Karthika NaiÌr breathes life into this ancient epic. In Until the Lions, Karthika NaiÌr retells the Mahabharata through the embodied voices of women and marginal characters, so often conquered and destroyed throughout history. She captures the richness and complexity of the Mahabharata, while illuminating lives buried beneath the edifices of one of the world's most venerated books. Through shifting poetic forms, ranging from pantoums to Petrarchan sonnets, NaiÌr choreographs the cadences of stray voices. And with a passionate empathy, she tells of nameless soldiers, their despairing spouses and lovers, a canny empress, an all-powerful god, and a gender-shifting outcast warrior. Until the Lions is a kaleidoscopic, poetic tour de force. It reveals the most intimate threads of desire, greed, and sacrifice in this foundational epic"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a MahaÌbhaÌrata $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Religious poetry, Indic. 776 08 $i Online version: $a NaiÌr, Karthika. $t Until the lions. $b First Archipelago Books edition. $d Brooklyn, NY : Archipelago Books, 2019 $z 9781939810373 $w (DLC) 2019033783 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402012649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2642CA345D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
