“Dense with narrative details of a transnational life, these poems are suffused with a peculiarly Indian synesthesia—’the air thick enough to bite, rinsing/ fingertips with color.’ Vandana Khanna, in her second prize-winning book, gives us a series of panoramic spectacles—children watching horror films in Delhi, Merle Oberon on her latest Bollywood film role, stolen lemons wrapped in yesterday’s newspaper. Colors and crime collide with the likes of Garbo and Rekha in this tender and smart collection of poems.” —Kazim Ali, author of Sky Ward and Bright Felon Vandana Khanna is an instructor at the University of Southern California and the author of Train to Agra. She is the 2013 winner of the Elinor Benedict Poetry Prize.

To the person who’s picked up this book hoping it includes a summary and not a bunch of reviews, yay, for you are in the right place! I always think of my poems as living, breathing things and so you shall find people you know, seasons that go by, and different emotions you feel in them in these poems. Some will feel like that older neighbour who always smiles at you, some will feel like a frosty winter morning, some will feel like that inexplicable feeling of having something within your grasp but not being able to touch it. I hope you will find your answers in these poems. And if not, then maybe you’ll find the right questions to ask. Whether you read it on your bed or your comfiest sofa or in the metro or under your desk in a class, it doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that you read it, and hopefully, some of these words shall resonate with you.
