The better monsters

"If a book can be a mirror, The Better Monsters reflects what we see in ourselves, in others, and in each other. Replete with compelling protagonists and cross-referencing multiple identities, Puneet Dutt's poems masterfully negotiate the cultural complexities of politics, violence and war in the new century, and explore the lingering effect of racism and the ideas of borders, belonging, and home in North America and beyond. Honest, disarming, and brimming with the harrowing experiences and emotions of the individual, The Better Monsters is a fine debut from one of Canada's most exciting emerging poets."--
