‘My Invented Land’: Robin S Ngangom’s new book of poems proves he is a poet of slow epiphanies
For a poet who has cultivated his quiet for decades, there is no cause for fear, and no better medium than poetry – for both self-advancement and meditation.

Robin S. Ngangom’s poetry is the poetry of feeling, which draws the reader deep into the poet’s world. The poems in My Invented Landshowcase Ngangom’s remarkable range—tracing his poetic arc from the deeply personal to the political, from chronicles of private joys, sorrows and everyday epiphanies to the poetry of witness that gazes unflinchingly at the realities that haunt the Northeast, his native land.
‘Robin S. Ngangom is one of the few poets who can write well on both politics and love and not be afraid of showing their links.’―Adil Jussawalla
