Replete with compelling protagonists and cross-referencing multiple identities, Puneet Dutt\u2019s poems masterfully negotiate the cultural complexities of politics, violence, and war in the new century, and explore the lingering effect of racism and the ideas of borders, belonging, and home in North America and beyond.
