Singing Over Bones

Singing Over Bones is a fierce and tender debut reckoning with what remains after loss. Drawing from the folkloric tradition of La Loba—the wolf woman who resurrects life by singing over bones—Amy Singh excavates fragments of being from the shattered silence of intimate violence to the thundering chorus of street protest, from ancestral wounds to future hope, and borders that cut through both lands and hearts. Moving fluidly between English, Hindi, and Panjabi, these poems map love and resistance across generations and geographies.
