Praise for this book
"The poetic incantations bring these various states to life with pulsating vividness, brimming with descriptions exploring direction, scent, gender, politics, knowledge, and body parts. As well as creating this type of incantatory, fluid poetry, the collection acts as a prayer and an intensely personal account of engagement with cultural history. These 'states of the body produced by love' allow the poetry to traverse the Mahāvidyās and to access the vessels of knowledge within them."
--Pratyusha, The White Review

"Fans of Maggie Nelson or Anne Carson may find themselves in familiar territory: there is the same impulse for wide-ranging references, the same desire to crack words open and poke around inside them. Ramayya's concerns, however, are broader than Nelson and Carson's sorrows in love: as the title suggests, States of the Body addresses ideas of the nation state, Hindu nationalism, British imperialism - and yes, love too."
