Great Regulars: This summer, we bring you a special

treat: the ancient words of two powerful mystic Indian poets translated by contemporary Indian writers. The striking vākhs of 14th-century Kashmiri poet Lal Dĕd or Lalla are given to us by Ranjit Hoskote, and the songs of far-seeing 15th-century bhakti poet-saint Kabir by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, in this double feature.

I, Lalla

from The Caravan: Poetry: I, Lalla/Songs of Kabir
