Having been twice widowed to cancer, Sharma questions the various relationships--familial, social, romantic, religious--that have shaped her identity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by Barnett Newman's Onement series as well as many texts including the \u003cem\u003eUpanishads\u003c\/em\u003e, Th\u003cem\u003ee Bhagavad Gita\u003c\/em\u003e, Goethe's \u003cem\u003eFaust\u003c\/em\u003e, and Audre Lorde's \u003cem\u003eThe Cancer Journals\u003c\/em\u003e, these poems explore the concept of oneness in Hinduism, Abstract Expressionism, and selfhood in an attempt at \"onement with lyric certainty,\" a way through ideas of prosody to a clearer sense of what is needed in freedom, suffering, and art-making. The result is a stunning work that invokes ancient wisdom into an understanding of self-care that is fiercely anticolonial and anticapitalist, while holding space for suffering as a site of transformation for us individually and collectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prageeta Sharma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wave Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 6.77w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798891060357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrageeta Sharma\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the poetry collections \u003cem\u003eGrief Sequence\u003c\/em\u003e (Wave Books 2019), \u003cem\u003eUndergloom\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eInfamous Landscapes\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Opening Question\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the 2004 Fence Modern Poets Prize, and \u003cem\u003eBliss to Fill\u003c\/em\u003e.
