'This book has pain and it has discovery. It has wonder. It has the spell of a story and the effortlessness of a song. Which is why I hope it finds its way into you, your hands, readers.' Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic

In Rohan Chhetri's much-awaited second collection, inherited literary forms-the ode, the lyric, and pristine tercets-are juxtaposed with gorgeously fractured and stylistically daring hybrid pieces. Winner of the prestigious Kundiman Prize for Poetry, Lost, Hurt, Or in Transit Beautiful is a luminous and haunting book.

Rohan Chhetri is a poet based in Houston, TX. He is the author of the collection SLOW STARTLE (The (Great) Indian Poetry Collective, 2016), and the chapbook Jurassic Desire (Per Diem Press, 2017). This second full collection is the winner of the Kundiman Poetry Prize and is published in India by HarperCollins and in the United States by Tupelo Press. --This text refers to the paperback edition
