In this tilted
Storm-knocked world
This drop of earth
That holds the lift
It means that the poems traverse place effortlessly. One moment we join him on the sub-continent standing outside his father's house, another moment next to a grave. The pace and length of the poems change for each one, adding interest and acting as a prism to his varied family backgrounds. I liked this a lot and I can't really say why other than the multicultural elements work together well with his prose. I was fortunate to win this along with the others shortlisted for the Costa Poetry prize and I must say that the book itself is a thing of beauty, such simple layout for all the Faber poetry books with a cover that is so tactile.
