These are fierce poems, Amazonian in their reach which challenges
male territory and waterfalls but further challenges young women to
find their warrior selves. Transgression, tresspass and daring are
vital in them. However, the anguish of being female is just as
vigorously their property. Read "Cartographer of the Breast." Karen
Swenson, author of Landlady in Bangkok and A Daughter's Latitude: New
and Selected Poems Venkateswaran's second collection outstrips her
first in many ways: it is substantial in volume and contains a wider
range of subjects and themes; external events, geographies, and
mythologies collide with interior reckonings to pose poetic
epiphanies; as often as not, the poems pirouette on the dance floor
of the page. This is overall a thoughtful, witty, dramatic, and
provocative collection. Saleem Peeradina, author of The Ocean in My
Yard, Group Portrait, and Meditations on Desire
