Through gentle haibun-poemages Anannya Dasgupta, Associate Professor in the Division of Literature and Arts and the Director of the Centre for Writing and Pedagogy at Krea University, explores the heightened attention to touch during the pandemic – both in the literal lack of shared touch and its overdose in metaphor. ‘Held – Lockdown in Words & Images‘ presents works of Anannya and three other Chennai based poets and visual artists in Art + Poetry – A Virtual Project presented by Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Chennai.
