What of the Earth Was Saved
Leeladhar Jagoori
Translated from Hindi by Matt Reeck
What of the Earth Was Saved by Leeladhar Jagoori, translated from Hindi by Matt Reeck and published by World Poetry Books, is a book rooted in India. Jagoori’s What of the Earth Was Saved, translated by Matt Reeck, carries a title that feels both ecological and spiritual. It asks not what was destroyed, but what remains, what can be carried forward, what the poem might rescue from disappearance. As Hindi poetry in English, the book expands the library’s sense of contemporary Indian lyric beyond the most familiar English-language names. I would read it for earthbound intelligence, ethical questioning, and the ache of preservation.
