<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Ali's sixth collection analyzes the slippery, intangible, and transient nature of existence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Titled for the influential singer left almost voiceless by a terrible syndrome, the poems bring sweet melodies and rhythms as the voices blend and become multitudinous. There's an honoring of not only survival, but of persistence, as this part research-based, pensive collection contemplates what it takes to move forward when the unimaginable holds you back.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Kazim Ali's newest collection of poems is brilliant and chilling and filled with sound. The Voice of Sheila Chandra is alive with formal invention and innovation that will surely be a fixture in contemporary poetry for years to come. Part researched document, part song, part deep excavation of the soul, there is much to learn from this book. Ali forces us to contend with history & the present in order to imagine a future where we survive." --sam sax<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Poet, editor, and prose writer Kazim Ali was born in the United Kingdom to Muslim parents of Indian, Iranian and Egyptian descent.
