A Dye Hard Interview with Pravasan Pillay from 2011

 

Back in 2011 -- a long time before Chatsworth and Aiyo! were published, I conducted an interview with Pravasan Pillay. In it he talks about his press Tearoom Books, his poetry chapbook Glumlazi, his collaboration with Anton Krueger, Shaggy, and, needless to say, his sense of humour. Read the interview here
