This is the fifth anthology of original, contemporary poems-in English, Hindi, and Marathi-from the poets who are part of a collective called the Poetry of Diaspora in Silicon Valley. The Blue Throat Dancers is a reference to the Hindu God Shiva, the lord of dance and a part of the holy trinity who is responsible for creative destruction. He is also known as Neelkanth, the one with a blue throat. One of the legends about him is that he once saved the world at the time of great turmoil by dranking poison that came from the churning of the ocean and thus saved the world. He was the only ascetic strong enough to contain the poison in his throat, turning it blue, without being harmed by it. This group of poets love to read poems aloud, giving voice and breath to the power of words, thus liberating silences everywhere, to create a fresh vision for a more just world.
