Book Synopsis
Usha Akella pays tribute to the lives of women from cultures across continents, while reflecting on her own life. Her poems are the medium for women who refuse to be silenced. She condenses a calm rage into ferocious words of precision and celebrates the women who have triumphed. All the while a subversive dusting of humour runs through the collection. This is poetry that cannot be ignored. "Rage has no caste, needs no algorithm, light a pyre with it of chopped thumbs and scripted dreams"

Trade Review
These poems distil perennial wisdom and are charged with life and a brilliance that lends us humans, particularly women, a voice. The poet demands that we speak.— Marianela Medrano, Dominican poet, author of Rooting: A Selection of Bilingual Poems
