The View from Zero Bridge

by Lynn Aarti Chandhok

Poetry. Winner of the Levine prize in Poetry, 2007. "It's the rich physicality of these poems that draws me to them, and it's their large reach that keeps me coming back. This is a poetry that embraces the problem of distance--geographical, chronological, religious, cultural--and the book gathers quiet force as it weaves between worlds as seemingly distant as Kashmir and Brooklyn, childhood and parenthood, sensuality and intellect, science and tradition. It's a delight to read a new book of poems that not only sings with a beautiful voice, but sings with remarkable wisdom, and sings to the heart" (Contest judge Corrinne Clegg Hales) .

Marvelous accomplishment from my Brooklyn neighbor and colleague. On Yom Kippur (Five Meditations), Time's Particles, and Inside The Carpet Factory, this reader's favorites.
