An altar is a door; wonder is the key.
What losses and intimacies bring you to this threshold? Tabako on the Windowsill contends tenderly with such questions, initiating through them the work of transformation.
To shape an entire book around portals and thresholds is to search for living myth. Hari Alluri's poems build from comic books, television, paintings, folklore, music, and a unique imagination. Following an immigrant point of view while maintaining home in a language that engages with blood and chosen family, Alluri offers multiple lived and ancestral spaces in India, the Philippines, Nigeria, the U.S., and Canada. Guided by a burning attention--to braids of displacement, loss, and joy, to multiple beginnings--Alluri creates moments where we can expand through the personhood of perception into wider, overlapping worlds of perspective and possibility.
