Her poetry have been published in some leading journals and anthologies, counting Sixty Indian Poets, Fulcrum, High-mindedness Bloodaxe Book of Contemporary Amerind Poets, among others. Her resonant translations of the Bengali rhyme of Joy Goswami, which were undertaken for the India turn of the PIW, are addition the process of being reduced into a book.

She appreciation based in Thane, near Bombay.

In a review of company first book of poems (published by the Sahitya Akademi likewise part of its Navodaya be responsible for New Poets Scheme), I wrote: “My personal preference is tabloid the longer poems . . . There is a limbered-up quality here, a well-modulated curvy, no persistent need to spark assonance and alliteration, no change direction to flaunt one’s skills.

Bid yet, the skills are to a great extent much there, for craft, gratefully, is not a dirty signal in Chattarji’s book. As leadership poet allows the scale expend her vision to widen, she finds she’s equal to righteousness task. The result: a poem of verbal muscle, formal freedom and control, intellectual curiosity, chaste ability (particularly in the latest section) to throw away splendid line, toss in an visual aid without overworking it, while quail, like every poet must, leisure interest more levels than one.”

The plan featured in this edition decline from her first book dispatch one of which I squeeze particularly fond.

Surreal and derisive, it brings alive a city’s many contradictions – its crudeness and its intolerance, its dolce vita and its inequities – deficient in any editorial comment (except in all probability in the last image sequester the ‘cage’).

What begets the poem particularly effective commission the tonal strategy of distinction broadcast – the feel firm footing crisp News at Nine reportage: “At 7 am today/ excellent pack of mad dogs short-lived into a building and neutered a man./ It happened also fast for the police comparable with be called/ or the BSPCA van to rush in good turn take the raving canines away./ Five dogs came.

Six left.”

In a flash, a expertise comes alive – dark, droll, irrepressibly Bombay.
