Infamous LandscapesPaperback, 1 November 2007

An exploration of the compatibility of human desire with personal ethics is at the heart of INFAMOUS LANDSCAPES. In these poems Sharma turns away from Romanticism with a certain disconcerted, feminine shame, one that finds her peering through a gendered lens. The landscapes are urban and natural, inasmuch as both inhere in the human psyche as symbol and metaphor.
