The Adil Jussawalla Poetry Crawl is a reading of his collection of poems, Shorelines, in the various Koliwada coastlines of Bombay—Sassoon Docks, Worli, Versova, Sion. Through these poems, the poet urges us to become excavationists, archaeologists, deep-sea divers, as we uncover the many histories, mythologies, migrations, narratives, religious events, and everyday traumas that make up this city. Instead of observing Bombay land-first, let's look at it sea-first, and what better way to respect the sea than with the Kolis -- the first people of Bombay?
