The Two Pits: New and Selected Poems
(Author: Siddhartha Menon)
From one of India’s most assured and regarded poetic voices comes a milestone collection of new and selected verses.
The Two Pits brings together verses that span much of Siddhartha Menon’s career, featuring curated selections from three of his previous volumes alongside two distinct sections of previously unpublished work. It provides the most comprehensive introduction yet to his evocative body of poetry.
In the opening titular section, Menon captures the quietly profound rhythm of life—where leaves fall and renew, street lamps illuminate thoroughfares, and concrete dialogues with moss and young trees. Bridging the intimate with the expansive, these poems navigate questions of mortality, connection, desire, and epiphany. Wise, thoughtful, and often playful, Menon explores themes ranging from Shakespeare’s Macbeth to quiet observations in a shelter for homeless boys and the kaleidoscope of everyday human relationships.
