Publisher's Synopsis
It is highly unusual, and therefore incredibly exciting, to read post-colonial poetry that can best be described as quirky, even playful. In this strange, provocative and often powerful collection, form, content and style create difference and otherness; they don't just explore it thematically. Every time you think you're reading yet another poem about identity or the shape of current Britain, you realise you're simultaneously in the presence of a witty, clever and original writing-mind. I found myself wanting to simply say, despite the humour, important messages, and striking imagery, I really like this - because it's the exact opposite of whatever stale, obvious, is. -Todd Swift
