Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and a Poetry Book Society Choice, Subramaniam's new collection presents poems of wonder and precarious elation, and the seemingly diverse addresses of mystery and clarity, disruption and stillness - all the roadblocks and rewards on the long dangerous route to recovering what it is to be alive and human.

"A sense of wonder and striking contrasts pervade the Indian poet's fourth collection. The sacred meets the everyday cerebral wordplay delivers full-blooded emotion and ancient Hindu myths run alongside contemporary urban life. Breathtaking in scope taking in religious faith friendships love affairs and existential themes. Often the work questions poetry itself - but it is always rooted in the physical and the tangible with fresh visual imagery that really packs a punch. Bold and thought-provoking." - Juanita Coulson The Lady
