The book is well-researched and presents a compelling argument. However, I wish there had been more attention to the lyrical aspects of Miraji’s poetry.

An important contribution to the field. The analysis of desire in Miraji’s work is particularly strong. Be prepared for dense theoretical language.

I appreciated the book’s attempt to connect Miraji’s poetry to broader issues of colonialism and gender. However, some of the connections felt a bit strained.
