FIRST BOOK AWARD
TRAIN
TO AGRA
Poems by
Vandana Khanna
“Vandana Khanna’s sensual, evocative
poems sweep the reader away on
a journey of family, culture, and
spirituality. In Train to Agra, Khanna’s
deft language and bright, revelatory
imagery bring both physical and
emotional landscapes to life. Khanna’s
gifts as a poet are many, and she uses
them to cross borders and countries,
to bring alive ‘The India of Postcards,’
to fill in ‘colors, the smells, to translate
to English / To translate into the
present, into beautiful.’ Vandana
Khanna is not only a poet to watch;
she is a poet to savor.”—Allison
Joseph, author of Imitation of
Life, In Every Seam, and Soul Train
