Equally engaged with human history and the human heart, Majmudar transfigures identity from a locus of captivity to the open field of his liberation. In pieces that include a stunning central sequence, Letters to Myself in My Next Incarnation, the poet is both the Huck and Jim of his own adventures. He is unafraid to face human failings: from Oxycontin addiction to Gujarat rioting, he examines--often with dark comedy--the fragility of the soul, the unchartability of pain, and the reasons we sing and grieve and make war. All-American and multitudinously alone, dancing in his confinement, Majmudar is a poet of exuberance and transcendence: What I love here, \/ Poems and women mostly, \/ I know you can't remember, he tells his future self. But they were worthy of my love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAugust 18, 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmit Majmudar is the author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Abundance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePartitions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, chosen by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as one of the best debut novels of 2011 and by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as one of the year’s ten best works of historical fiction.
