International authors are also featured, including Christoph Ransmayr, whose poem references Greek mythology to comment on contemporary behaviors.

The Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 catalogue by Seagull Books showcases a unique conceptualization and approach, led by founder Naveen Kishore.

Opening the catalogue is a correspondence between Kishore and Palestinian author Ghassan Zaqtan, a Nobel Prize nominee in 2013.

Zaqtan contributes two poems that explore memory, effectively bridging the gap between illusion and reality.

Kishore reached out to global authors, who responded with poems in various languages, reflecting diverse cultural perspectives on literature.

The catalogue features upcoming titles such as 'The Unrealizable' by Giorgio Agamben and 'At the Jincheng Hotel' by K.G. Subramanyan, highlighting a range of literary voices.

Notable contributions from Indian authors include Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's insights on class politics and Romila Thapar's exploration of belief through magical realism.

Kishore's poems provoke strong reactions, with titles that create discomfort and resonate with themes of vulnerability and honesty.

The catalogue's artworks, including those by Max Neumann, intertwine visual storytelling with philosophical themes, prompting reflection on identity and existence.

Designer Sunandini Banerjee draws inspiration from the authors' writings, creating artwork that reflects their messages without pre-conceived plans.

Banerjee's artistic approach is a tribute devoid of festivity, featuring a powerful cover design that honors the RG Kar victim.
