'In this fifth book of poetry, Pooja Mittal Biswas’s voice achieves musicality. While strong themes lend coherence to the whole, the language cascades and moves forward with an inner force.' (Introduction)

'Eh? You want bodies, blood, sex, gore, damning gods, raw uppercuts?

'Why, yes. Pooja Mittal Biswas welcomes you into the ring of identity and the hunt for an honest and rapier self.

'Glove up.' (Publication summary) 

'Silence is never silent, so long as there is a listening ear.

'In her newest collection of poetry, Pooja Mittal listens to the silences that populate our world — silences of discord and reverence, of consciousness and death. These vast and impenetrable silences fill the spaces within us and without; they give meaning to the substance of our lives, to the voices we hear and the words we speak. Here, in Subliminal Dust, Mittal transcribes those silences and gives them speech.'
