To read Body Be Sound is to step into the world of an observant poet. She misses nothing, from the way syrup flows inside a tightly packed jar of preserved tomatoes to how a manatee is feminized by the sea. More than anything, these luminous poems will fill you with wonder, a much-needed sentiment in these, or any other, times. -Sayantani Dasgupta, author of Women Who Misbehave and Fire Girl: Essays on India, America, & the In-Between
