Veils, Halos and Shackles : International Poetry on the Oppression and Empowerment of Women

It has been pointed out to me that although I mentioned this anthology when I had work accepted by the editors, Charles Fishman and Smita Sahay, that I haven’t posted anything about it since it has been published.

Below is a link to an article about it from “The Hindu,” an English-language Indian daily newspaper. Headquartered at Chennai,  It is the second most circulated English-language newspaper in India, with average qualifying sales of 1.45 million copies as of Jan−Jun 2016. A friend sent me a link to a review in a Hindu newspaper which, unfortunately, is no longer available, pointing out that the review mentions my poem, “Zauditu,” which appears in the anthology. You can, however, see the Goodreads page about it HERE, which contains some reader reviews and links to online booksellers.
