Her poetry lives inside the minute pressures of everyday life, inside the shudders and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebruises of the human body. In paying careful attention to parts of the whole, Banerji's smallest gestures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebecome suddenly enormous. These are poems about fear and family, about love and language and hunger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanerji moves through a variety of forms-villanelle, prose poem, 'bedtime story'-with a quiet rhythmic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econfidence. And from within the glistening structures of the poems, we glimpse strange characters and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econversations.
