Summary: ‘Aishwarya Iyer”s The Grasp of Things establishes a new lyrical “I” in Indian Anglophone poetry—that of the woman who wants to claim urban spaces as her own. This book can be termed as a chronicle of different kinds of hunger—the hunger for a more feminised city, where the narrator converses with working-class women about the meaning of lost and acquired homes; for a different kind of love; and “dense abstractions”, which both co-exist with and exceed the “ache of forms”—all held together by a feminine lyrical interiority which is not bound by a narrow definition and sense of the domestic.’—Nandini Dhar
