This Friday, if you drop in at Zen Cafe in Lower Parel, you'll spot guests lending a keen ear to Bernardo Massoia as he recites works of notable Peruvian, Chilean and Mexican poets in English, Spanish and Hindi translations. The 40-year-old professor of literature at National College, Buenos Aires, is an authority on Latin American literature, his subject of research for the last 14 years. Currently in India for a visit, Massoia is set to introduce Mumbai to the continent's poetry at a session organised by The Poetry Club.
