Inhaltsangabe

The castaway eunuch returns to us from the grimy margins of life. Standing in the middle ground, armed with the secret knowledge of truth and treachery that has always evaded our divided camps, she now demands entry into our histories. Defying the rigid frames of our morality and language, the eunuch starkly reminds us of the futility of our proud tools, even as she reclaims connections with many a potent figure from myth and history alike: Ardhanaree-swara, Tiresias, Sikhandi, Brihannaia, Bagoas the Persian, Narses the Roman, San Boa the Chinese, the Chief Black Eunuch of the Ottoman court. The idea of 'crossing the border', fundamental to the eunuch's identity, inspires the poems in this collection to emerge irreverent, transcendental, different.
