Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, this collection by a leading Indian-American poet is written in an array of poetic forms, from the rhyming lyric to the philosophical meditation to the prose essay. The poems confront perplexing divisions of contemporary life—a wayward history, an indeterminate future, and a present condition of wanting to out-think time.
