OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Vivek Narayanan, one of the most distinguished Indian poets of the present day, performs sections from After (NYRB, 2022), his collection of poems inspired by Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa, which he describes as a “reinvention or rewiring”—a reanimation—of the foundational Asian epic. Following the performance, Vivek will expand on issues relating to translation, epic, orality, and chorality in conversation with Professor of Poetry Alice Oswald and the audience. The conversation will be chaired by Prof Matthew Reynolds.
