Somnath Ganapa

Somnath Ganapa is currently majoring in biology at the College of New Jersey. He aspires to become a physician but is interested in ultimately becoming a writer that he enjoys reading. His favorite writers are Malcolm Gladwell, Joseph Conrad and Paul Kalanithi.

“Of Van Gogh”, “Pescador Beach” and “Beginning Piano”

The sense of touch is valued in Somnath Ganapa’s poetry: the poems resonate whether the subject is Van Gogh, the beach, or the piano. An example of this gift in “Beginning Piano”: “I gingerly lifted her upper lip with gentle fingers,/ Revealing white and black teeth underneath./Back straight, reverent fingers on middle C,/It was my first time.
