Bina Sarkar Ellias - The Renaissance Rebel Uncut Poetry presents Red River Sessions
-
- Performing Arts
Bina stole my heart from the time I met her, a few years back, in a poetry extravaganza where I was the Master of Ceremonies and Bina headlined a stellar galaxy of poets. She was there with her husband, the renowned photographer Rafique Ellias, and I knew I was in the presence of two wonderful souls from the first hello. Her poetry had a power which her slender frame and gentle voice belied. And as I came to know the breadth of her interests and the depth of her commitments to causes, I became a lifelong fan. Bina is the very definition of a Renaissance woman, if there ever was one.
Bina is a poet, of course, but also an editor, designer and publisher of International Gallerie, a global arts and ideas journal (www.gallerie.net) founded by her in 1997. She is also an art curator, having curated several important exhibits of renowned artists. She taught herself graphic design and has been invited by artists, galleries, photographers, poets to design their books and catalogues.
Her books of poetry include The Room, Fuse, When Seeing is Believing and the latest Song of a Rebel and Other Selected Poems brought to you by Red River Publishers. Her poems have been translated into Arabic, Urdu, French, Greek and Chinese. And FUSE has been taught at the Towson University in Maryland, USA.
In this engaging and story-filled episode of Red River Sessions, Bina talks how the rebel in her governed her choices as a child, in marriage, in starting her own magazine - and how a life well lived is the one in which you back your own choices.
Her latest book, Song of a Rebel and Other Selected Poems, published by Red River, can be purchased at -
