In Memoriam of Reetika Vazirani

The Washington Post yesterday published a long peice in the magazine examining the life and suicide of the up-and-coming South Asian-American poet Reetika Vazirani.

Vazirani took her own life and the life of her 2-year-old son in July of 2003 while house-sitting in the Chevy Chase section of Washington D.C.

Make sure to check out the links in the sidebar of the Post article and read some of her work.
