Collected Poems by Sujata Bhatt Penguin This is language to chew

This is language to chew and digest

plaints and howls of injustice

this is a fine collection from a poet at the top of his game

Collected Poems by Sujata Bhatt Penguin This is language to chewThis book gathers four decades of writing, published in collections from Brunizem in 1988 to Pure Lizard in 2008. It maps the poets trajectory, following her exile from her homeland, India, and her mother tongue, Gujarati, to the landscapes and languages of the USA and then Europe. Urgent, compassionate and inventive, Bhatts work forms a uniquely sustained project of reinvention and rediscovery. Carcanet Press
