Meena Alexander was born into a privileged childhood in India and grew into a turbulent adolescence in the Sudan, before moving to England and then New York City.

Alexander's writing is imbued with a poetic grace shot through with an inner violence, like a shimmering piece of two-toned silk.Ms. Magazine
