<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In an era of pandemic lockdown and brutal politics, Tishani Doshi's poems make vital space for what must come next-the return of wonder and free movement, and a profound sense of connection to what matters most. From a microscopic cell to flightless birds, to a sumo wrestler and the tree of life, Doshi interrupts the news cycle to pause in grief or delight, to restore power to language. A God at the Door invites the reader on a pilgrimage-one that leads us back to the sacred temple of ourselves. This is an exquisite, generous collection from a poet at the peak of her powers"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"We are homesick everywhere," writes Tishani Doshi, "even when we're home."

To paraphrase one interviewer, Doshi is writing the anthems of her generation." --Sandeep Parmar on Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods, The Guardian <p/>"These poems move in different directions, as true poetry should. We hear in them joy and sadness, praise and lament, love and disenchantment--simultaneously. Tishani Doshi speaks courageously about herself, about her choices, about the growing shadows." --Adam Zagajewski <p/>"A work of a striking, emerging talent, who is prepared to take risks in pursuit of sensual, emotionally engaged and passionate poetry." --Judges of the Forward Prize<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Tishani Doshi is an award-winning poet, writer, and dancer.
