Sujata Bhatt is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary poetry. She is, the New Statesman declared, 'one of the finest poets alive', and alive in a unique way to issues of politics and gender, to place and history, to different cultural and linguistic traditions.

The Reading YearOur critics pick their favourite books of 2008.
Bhatt's theme of exoticism in this collection runs into her original verse forms, with colourful images trailing each other in loose but always tightly controlled sequence. Animals, real and mythical, dart across the pages, symbols both of elusive beauty and squalid reality.
