We are thrilled to have Karthika Na茂r read and discuss excerpts from her award-winning poem Until the Lions, a provocative reinterpretation of the Indian epic The Mahabharata. Its key insight鈥攖hat war stems not from a conflict between 鈥済ood鈥� and 鈥渆vil,鈥� but from the very human impulse to hate and seek vengeance鈥攇ives it both an epic universality and a disturbingly specific relevance in the light of the recent rhetoric of hatred and retributive violence... Yet, beyond the poem's blood-soaked destinies and edgy verse is a moving humanist call to better understand history and our own destructive impulses that shape it.
