'Poetic Spaces' is a photo essay on urban youth in Calcutta's social and economic margins. It will be on display in Odegaard Libary's lobby, and first and second floor display areas, from March 16 to April 30. The 26 photographs show adolescents who are living in either a red-light area youth collective or a juvenile shelter for at-risk youths. They are all participants in the creative writing program "Kalam: Margins Write", and alongside the photographs are examples of their poetry. The poetry captures these young poets in their everyday moments, moods, habits, landscapes, routines, chores, addictions, rebellions and dreams.
