Treasurer of Piggy Banks presents the selected poems of Indian writer Vinod Kumar Shukla. In Shukla's work, all details are local yet canonical, and deep roots spread far and wide. Shukla's ability to see things through their opposite illuminates what is hardest to comprehend with aphoristic yet surreal clarity, from environmental collapse to the way our own deaths are snug inside our lives. These poems are translated with deft humor and acrobatic muscle by poet and essayist Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, who writes in his introduction that Shukla's lines are so unique to him, "you could put them on a check, and it will be honored at any literary bank." You can't hoard or even spend the wealth of the lines in this collection, but the shiny, slippery, and threatened value of the world accrues through them.
