I believe it is Vikram Seth's The Golden Gate, a novel-in-verse written in Onegin stanzas.

Can anyone identify this?
So here they are, the chapters ready,
And, half against my will, I'm free
Of this warm enterprise, this heady
Labor that has exhausted me.
Through thirteen months, swift and delightful
Incited by my friends' insightful
Paring and prodding and appeal.
I pray the gentle hands of Steele
Will once again sift through its pages.
If anything in this should grate,
Ascribe it to its natal state;
If anything in this engages
By verse, veracity, or vim
You know whom I must credit, Tim.
