These poignant poems are concerned with the forces that connect one person to another, those that divide them, and those--language in particular--that may do both. With well-honed technical skill and, as is common with all Satyamurti's work, a notable mixture of sympathy and astringent intelligence, Striking Distance offers readers a powerful voice that is both political and imaginative.
