Description

Her Mouth a Palace of Lamps is a meditation on what it means to be a woman in two cultures, connected to loved ones as a daughter, a wife, a mother. Yamini Pathak’s first collection moves between countries and through time as the narrator reflects on her girlhood, the lessons of her parents and other elders, as well as on the shifting pressures on women today. Weaving nuanced description of the domestic and the artistic seamlessly throughout, this is a book of warm, rich imagery and quiet, compelling reflection.
