They represent the new voices that are gradully changing the landscape of Canadian literature. Including poetry by: Himani Bannerji, Arzina Burney, Ramabai Espinet, Lakshmi Gill, Jamila Ismail, Surjeet Kalsey, Suniti Namjoshi, Uma Parameswaran, Tilottama Rajan, Nilambri Singh, and Yasmin Ladhna - from Amzon
