Sneha Madhavan-Reese's debut poetry collection, Observing the Moon, was a finalist for the 2013 Alfred G. Bailey Prize and sparkles with compositional flair - and lyrical balance. These poems of family and generational memory are incisive, mature, confident, and savvy in their awareness of the multiple contradictions of cultural desire. ".clever, brazen and playful.?There's a peacefulness within this collection that makes it very accessible and highly enjoyable." Kerri Cull, in her judge's comments for the Alfred G. Bailey Prize.
