Amit Majmudar's textual triptych Three Metamorphoses recasts and transforms foundational stories from Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism in verse and poetic prose. But these are no simple retellings: mystical Islamic origin story adopts narrative devices from Milton, the Christian Gospels are interwoven with Greek tragedy and modern politics, and virtuosically shifting Hindu verse forms take their cue from Ovid. There is perhaps no other poet today who could accomplish such a wide-ranging tour de force.
