Friction: A Poetry Showcase by Aparajita and Seep

What makes us balk is also what moves us. The one physical force that keeps our carefree movement in check scrapes our tires, skin our knees and keeps us grounded is also the one thing that makes movement a possibility. We move in spite of and because of friction. It scars us, Marrs us and propels us forward.

Friction is a Sunday Matinee poetry duet, organized in collaboration with TPMJC. It'll be an afternoon where we talk about the many bruises and scars we have gathered over the years, the frequent falling off the wagon and the constant getting up, brushing off and moving on. The very first of its kind in Delhi, Friction is about revisiting our journeys through our own dissonances, of finding ourselves within and without our poems, discovering how we both - as poets and people - coexist, in spite and because of all the friction that drives us.
