These are poems of joy and sadness, of mourning and celebration: poems about music and feet, church bells, beds, cafe tables, bad language and sudden silence. In contrast with her previous work written amidst the hubbub of India, these new poems are mostly set in London, where she has built a new life with - and since the death of - her husband Simon Powell.
Really enjoyable poetry here meditating on themes of belonging (familial, national, romantical) while taking the theme of luck and serendipity as its subject matter/framing device.
Enjoyed this a lot!

A powerful collection of poems on themes of violence, alterity, family and faith.
