Summary

"Fault Lines follows the life of poet and scholar Meena Alexander, who was born into a privileged childhood in India and raised in the Sudan before moving to England and then to New York City, where she reflects on her existence as a South Asian woman after 9/11. Writing across topics such as poetry, language, family, culture, and memory, this new edition of the memoir features a commemorative afterword by Gaiutra Bahadur in the wake of Meena Alexander's passing in 2018"--, Provided by publisher
