Edited Volume Call for Papers on Susheel Kumar Sharma’s Unwinding Self
CFP: Edited Volume Call for Papers on Susheel Kumar Sharma’s Unwinding Self
We are inviting submissions for a volume of papers exploring topics relating to Susheel Kumar Sharma’s Unwinding Self. The book is projected to be published in 2025 or early 2026, most likely by Paragon International Press. Contact editor for review PDF of the book, if interested.
Susheel Kumar Sharma teaches English at the University of Allahabad (India). He is the author of three collections of poetry, and his poems have been published in Canada, France, Ireland, Scotland, the UK, the USA and been translated into Assamese, French, Hindi, Sanskrit, Serbian, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Besides lecturing widely in India and abroad he has published critical books, research papers, interviews and book reviews.
This project will be an edited collection of scholarly essays about Unwinding Self. The essays will consider topics, which could include discussing the book in comparison with something outside the book—other books of poetry, either contemporary or historic, for example—or discuss the place of the book in a larger environment or context—such as the theme of ecology in the book, or the poet as a pilgrim, or the book as an epic journey, or how the book addresses social concerns, the book’s placement in a religious setting or philosophical framework, or compare the book to another book by the same author (editor can provide on request), discuss how the book uses symbols or imagery or language.
Please submit finished essays by November 1 for consideration. The length guidelines are flexible, but 8-20 pages single-spaced. Email editor with any questions.
