With puns and jabs, Dulai memorializes his heritage — and wrestles it to the ground." —George Bowering "I've travelled this book very closely — from the 'then-and-now' of India and the West, via anger and compassion, through caste and kin and state — all the while convinced that I am in the hands of a skilled writer/musician, one whose plausible geometry speaks to the contemporary experience that is being of two (or more) places at once." —Michael Turner "Here is a real made book. . . performance poetry, rich nouns, a montage of material for a world you probably haven't seen yet.
