Description: Ali's sixth collection analyzes the slippery, intangible, and transient nature of existence.
Review Quotes: "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
