With the lexical bravura and formal agility that have become hallmarks of Umit Singh Dhuga's poetry, the poems in Wince excavate a lyrical self, animated by familial, political, and racial upheaval. The ensuing risks of vulnerability and exposure are elegantly shaped primarily in sonnets, haiku, and terza rima that range over racism in sports, varieties of disunion wrought by Brexit, and postcolonial detritus and detente in South Asia. Wince marks a coming of age: in meditations on loss as well as the poet's marriage, the poems illuminate a world remade.
