Synopsis

This is the first anthology to showcase American poems claiming identities from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Here are forty nine poets, including long-established poets like Agha Shahid Ali, Vijay Seshadri, and Meena Alexander and dozens of younger award-winning authors such as Srikanth Reddy, Monica Ferrell, and Maya Khosla. The poets in this anthology engage in a vibrant diversity of poetic styles and map out a rich terrain where American and South Asia intertwine.
