From Booklist
In West Bengal, in the city of the death-mother Kali, a working-class woman is writing. What, beyond academic interest or a taste for exotica, would cause an American reader to seek out her work? A desire for piercingly memorable poetry, perhaps, or that most basic lust of the reader for communion with another soul, communion that transcends time, space, and culture. Both desires will be satisfied by this ravishing book. Mahapatra shows us her India--often destitute, sometimes polluted, simultaneously constrained by tradition and dismembered by modernity but joyously beautiful for all that. Especially she shows us India's women: the girl hauling bath water, the rebellious bride, the woman forced into crime to support her child. Gorgeously lyrical, sometimes surrealistically imagistic, Mahapatra's work also illumines the social and spiritual complexity of her homeland. A fine introduction by Carolyne Wright places the poet in her literary and cultural context. Patricia Monaghan
