“Tanya Singh is a poet who steps into the past of the collective mind, unearths the traumas of a nation carved into bloodshed by its colonial rulers—an anti-Sikh violence continued by communalist ethno-religious sectarianism. In a prose form that moves the heart through lyrical shifts where the political folds into the personal, the speaker’s body becomes a palimpsest. These poems chronicle a voice narrative that staggers me with its poignant urgency.”

— Rajiv Mohabir, Author of Cutlish and Antiman: A Hybrid Memoir



“A close, pure, raw meditation on personhood, family, history, and those moments of violence—like secrets—we commit to memory in the dark.”

— Dini Parayitam, Author of ‘What Nakedness Is’ in Joyland Magazine
