EP 200: Interview with Poet and Author Indranil Ghosh

Today, Tete DePunk, one of the co-hosts of The Nuts and Bolts of Writing, will be interviewing the electrifying poet and author Indranil, who submitted his collection of respective poems to Issues 2, 3, and 5 of our literary zine, “The Unconventional Courier.”

His collection of evocative and striking works is often inspired by arresting modern artistic masterpieces by 20th-century greats such as Rene Magritte and Edvard Munch. Check out his works using the links at the bottom.

Indranil Ghosh is a Ph.D. student in applied mathematics from India, currently living in New Zealand.

Highly inspired by Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, and Robert Frost, whenever he is not working, one may find him either reading classic poems or listening to music from the 70s and 80s.

His poems appear in the Aphelion webzine, The Unconventional Courier, Roi Faineant Literary Press, etc.

Tete asks Indranil the following questions:

1. What first inspired you to write poetry?
2. How did you draw inspiration from art to create your striking poems?
3. How do the images from these artworks inspire the poem? Do you form the idea of a concept or emotion/theme when you first see an artwork?
4. Who are some of the poets and artists that inspire you?
5. You mentioned musical artists also inspire you- how does their work inspire you? Is there a difference between how musical artists inspire you vs. visual artists inspire you?
6. How do you put the emotions and thoughts of the figures in your poem into words?
