English: Poems [With CD]

The narrator in these poems abandons the sectarian histories of 1990s's Bombay for the relative calm of New York, only to find himself a witness to September 11, 2001. Jeet Thayil'ss second collection links images of water, addiction and forgiveness; poems that evoke multiple outsider perspectives are set in landscapes as various as Hong Kong, Bombay, and New York City.
