A poetic tribute to the oft-silenced grief induced by gender-based violence

Published with Kulhar Books.

At the heart of Ansley Moon's spare, haunting collection of poems, Register the Missing, is a heartbreaking exploration of the often impossible choices faced by mothers and daughters in a world where over 50 million Indian girls have been lost to female infanticide, feticide and gender-based violence. Interspersed with archival documents and photographs, Moon's poems move deftly between the voices of a widow forced to relinquish her daughter, an orphaned child navigating identity and inherited loss and a chorus of unclaimed girls who remind us that nothing stays buried, not even a daughter. Whether taking on historical tragedy and erasure or adoption or the mundanity of citizenship paperwork and mornings in a new city, Moon's poetry creates a poignant intervention against cultural silence that reminds us of the possibility of finding yourself at the very moment you thought you were lost.
