Sunu is delighted to celebrate her collection of poetry, My Dear Comrades, with you and with the book's fabulous cover artist, Ragni Agarwal. ABOUT: My Dear Comrades In this poetry collection, Sunu P. Chandy includes stories about her experiences as a woman, civil rights attorney, parent, partner, daughter of South Asian immigrants, and member of the LGBTQ+ community. These poems cover themes ranging from immigration, social justice activism, friendship loss, fertility challenges, adoption, caregiving, and life during a pandemic. Sunu’s poems provide some resolve, some peace, some community, amidst the competing notions of how we are expected to be in the world, especially when facing a range of barriers. Sunu’s poems provide company for many who may be experiencing isolation through any one of these experiences and remind us that we are not, in fact, going it alone. Whether the experience is being disregarded as a woman of color attorney, being rejected for being queer, losing a most treasured friendship, doubting one’s romantic partner or any other form of heartbreak, Sunu’s poems highlight the human requirement of continually starting anew. These poems remind us that we can, and we will, collectively rebuild. Please consider contributing to support MoCA Arlington and its exhibitions and programming: DONATE HERE.

Located in the front part of the Greater Santa Fe Depot, the baggage hall, with other modern decor, it hosts the latest exhibitions of contemporary art. We were looking forward to perusing their latest works at our leisure. Unfortunately, it was closed when we arrived. However, we took the opportunity to admire the blend of old and modern architecture.
