Dr. Madhur Anand’s latest poetry collection, Parasitic Oscillations, was listed as author Omar El Akkad’s favourite book of the year in a roundup by The Walrus.  

El Akkad wrote Parasitic Oscillations is “one of those books that say something piercing about where we are as a species and what we’ve done.” 

Anand is the director of the Guelph Institute for Environmental Research, and a professor in the School of Environmental Sciences at the Ontario Agricultural College.  

Her debut collection of poems was entitled A New Index for Predicting Catastrophes and her memoir, This Red Line Goes Straight to Your Heart: A Memoir of Halves, won the 2020 Governor General’s Literary Award for non-fiction.
