    Meena Alexander was born in Allahabad, India, and raised in India and Sudan. When she was eighteen she went to study in England. She now lives in New York City, where she is a Distinguished Professor of English at Hunter College and the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. Her eight volumes of poetry include the collec- tions, Illiterate Heart (2002), which won a 2002 PEN Open Book Award, and Raw Silk (2004). Much of her work is concerned with migration and its impact on the writer's subjectivity, and with the sometimes violent events that com- pel people to cross borders, while a number of her recent poems, such as "Late, There Was an Island" and "Triptych in a Time of War," deal with the aftermath of the traumatic events of September 11, 2001. Alexander has produced the acclaimed autobiography Fault Lines (1993), chosen as one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 1993, and revised in 2003 to incorporate significant new material. She has also published two novels, Nampally Road (1991) and Manhattan Music (1997); a book of poems and essays, The Shock of Aival: Reflections on Postcolonial Experience (1996); and two academic studies, which include Women in Romantiism: Mary Wollstonecraft, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Mary Shelley (1989). She is currently at work on a new collection of poems and a volume of notes and essays on poetry, migration, and memory. This interview took place at the Graduate Center, City University of New York on February 25 and 28, 2

Meena, Swaminathan & Gorochov Diagnosis: Body of medium size, dark brown in colour with long dark brown hair and smaller yellowish hair; head globular, small, transverse (wider than long); distinctly ornamented with 4 yellow triangular markings joined at the vertex analogous to the 4-cups of an anemometer; face brown in colour with six yellow spots; last segment of the maxillary palpi securiform; antennae brown, interspaced with yellow bands; pronotum transverse, wider than long with hairs; metanotal glands present and glandular hairs wanting; tegmina short in both sexes, reaching beyond the 3 rd abdominal tergite, overlap strongly, rounded at the apex; stridulatory apparatus present; hindwings absent in both the sexes; the legs are brown with hair; fore tibiae posses oval shaped internal tympanum, while the external tympanum is absent; a special feature of this genus includes two small tympanum-like (eardrums) on the internal side of fore femur of both sexes that are of almost equal size and shape; hind femur thicker and longer than hind tibiae; base of the tarsal segments have yellowish stripes on all legs. Male genitalia of this genus has a triangularly shaped subgenital plate with an almost acute apex; significantly differing from other genera of the tribe Luzaropsini in having the guiding rod of the epiphallus much longer, extending beyond the distal part of the epiphallus with its apical part shaped like an arrow. Morphologically, the female genitalia look similar to the females of the genus, Luzaropsis; supra anal plate is almost the same as in the male, but with very few hairs; subgenital plate is wider than long with a postero-median notch; ovipositor is longer than femur and tibiae of hind leg; the dorsal valves with a distinct dorsal notch and pointed spine; a ventral concavity before apex and also present a row of hairs; the copulatory papilla is ovoid, almost egg shaped.Published as part of Meena, Ashok Kumar, Swaminathan, Rajamani & Nagar, Rajendra, 2020, Revision in the generic name of the cricket, Luzaropsis mjobergi Chopard, 1926 of tribe Luzaropsini (Phalangopsidae: Phalangopsinae), pp. 413-420 in Zootaxa 4869 (3) on pages 414-415, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4869.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/441880
