The Globe and Mail has included ecologist Dr. Madhur Anand’s latest poetry collection, Parasitic Oscillations, in its annual list The Globe 100: The best books of 2022.  

The list noted Parasitic Oscillations “offers rich, unexpected, deeply moving portraits of interdependence [and] invites contemplation of the complex relationships we hold with one another, with history and with the many species in our midst.”  

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
