Poetry Signing & Reading: Ansley Moon

Please join us in welcoming Ansley Moon for a signing and reading of their new work, Register the Missing. At the heart of Ansley Moon's spare, haunting collection of poems, Register the Missing, is a heartbreaking exploration of the often impossible choices faced by mothers and daughters in a world where over 50 million Indian girls have been lost to female infanticide, feticide, and gender-based violence. Interspersed with archival documents and photographs, Moon's poems move deftly between the voices of a widow forced to relinquish her daughter, an orphaned child navigating identity and inherited loss, and a chorus of unclaimed girls who remind us that "nothing stays buried, not even a daughter." Register the Missing is the first book from Kulhar Books, a new imprint at Kaya Press focused on South Asian diasporic literature.
