Praise for the chapbook:
ASHNA ALI, author of The Relativity of Living Well
"The politics of entitlement, gratitude, authority, obedience, and abandonment are raked over the coals of Gupta’s syntax as she remixes our expectations of language, fathers, and men more broadly. Together, these poems stitch a sensitive portrait of a particular kind of paternal psyche and the reluctant psyches of those of us who love them, miss them, and carry with us their love and their transgressions alike in assemblages of ourselves amidst our inherited and created cosmologies which, inevitably, contain all the fragrances and textures of their memory.”
TIMOTHY DAVID REY, author of Zip!
"The collection moves with rare intelligence and feeling, unearthing the speaker’s father’s presence and themes of home with both tenderness and precision. Gupta’s poems balance whimsy with (at times) mathematical rigor, allowing memory, grief, and curiosity to unfold in unexpected patterns. The result is a book that feels deeply personal yet formally daring, intimate in its subject matter and expansive in its imaginative reach. This is poetry that rewards attention: inventive, moving, and beautifully exacting.”
TALICHA J., author of Falling in Love with Picking Myself Up
"Cumulus is filled with visceral imagery, honest takes, and tender gut punches. Shivani’s work reminds me what it means to hold on to the feeling of a person rather than the details. And yet, the details are so vivid throughout! It’s a body of work that is reminiscent and wholly reverent.”
