Born in 1948, in Munger, Bihar, he witnessed the rise and fall of political movements and wrote against the backdrop of the Maoist and Naxalite struggles. This collection, the first book-length translation of his work into English, brings a glimpse of a volatile nation coming to grips with its own existence to new readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His poetry highlights the ongoing fight for justice and identity in an ever-changing state that remains starkly relevant to the contemporary Indian polity. Dhanwa's writing is a beacon for the working class, a testament to resistance, and a reminder that the struggle for a better world is both eternal and essential. In his universe, love, rebellion, armed resistance, and the everyday coexist. With \u003ci\u003eWorld Is Made Up Every Day\u003c\/i\u003e, he paints a vivid portrait of rural India's landscapes and humanity's capacity to defy power in all its forms. This book is not just a collection of poems; it is a call to keep the spirit of resistance alive and to live meaningfully in a world that constantly evolves but often remains unchanged. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlok Dhanwa\u003c\/b\u003e is a Hindi poet whose work has been translated into English and Russian.
