Poetry.
Women\'s Studies. From crushed bodies and crushed nouns,
Kirun Kapur has composed an utterly original book. Unsparing, un-selfpitying, these poems make an imaginative whole from Hindu mythology, confessions from a hotline for sexual abuse, meditations on a friend\'s mortal illness, and the poet\'s private pain.
Kapur makes a masterful style from the edges of experience where \'the soul, whatever it is, struggles to articulate.\'--Rosanna WarrenWOMEN IN THE WAITING ROOM is, put simply, one of the best books I\'ve read this decade. Its compressed power makes the pages feel dangerous; the poet\'s \'bones are a furnace;\' her \'face is a game.\' I held my breath for swaths of language so virtuosic the lines sing and shout violence, beauty, rage, and love. Then I fell into the silences
Kapur records and creates. The women whose stories she shapes echo our deepest shared narratives; they are set as much within each of us as in the book\'s steel mills, strip malls, white picket lines, and cities--from Delhi to Houston, Toronto to Dubai. Sweeping from the granular (\'encrypted tracks of beetles\') to incalculable truths (\'for a girl to be innocent she has to be dead\'), Kapur\'s poems make us \'behold: a word of witness.\' They are the \'reef whose happy ending is to be reborn as dunes.\' If you read only one book this year, let it be

If O\'Hara\'s Personism figures a poem as a telephone call then Kapur\'s wondrous lines serve to heal, like all poignant and meaningful human to human exchanges: interventionist language that disrupts easy sanctuaries of meaning yet is consoling in its artfulness. I call this life on the page, one you\'ll be happy to encounter.--Major JacksonThe imaginative poems in
Kirun Kapur\'s WOMEN IN THE WAITING ROOM reflect and ring out myriad truths about our personal and public lives. It\'s a bold and bombastic assertion, a must-read for these times and beyond.--Aimee NezhukumatathilWitnessing, engendering, and upending, Kirun Kapur\'s second book of poems continues that unbroken line of i
