NEW & SELECTED POEMS
(Poetrywala: India 2015)

New & Selected Poems brings together selections from previous books of poetry, many of which are out of print, in an Indian edition. 

“For several years, Mani Rao has been cutting her own fiercely singular path through the thickets of our language; with each new book her compositional values become both lighter and more precise, and her gestures-for this is a poetry of intense ellipsis— more sure, more stunning"
-Vivek Narayanan

"Rao has become a master poet, and as with many master poets, her poems have become more difficult and demanding. Any reader comparing 100 Poems: 1985-2005 to her latest collection, Ghostmasters, will quickly spot the growth and change as Rao pursues her self-defined aesthetic”
– Reid Mitchell in Cha.
