Description
Vidyan Ravinthiran's second collection is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of love, identity, and community. Written as sonnets for his wife, these poems delve into the complexities of life in the North East, tackling topics such as racism, sexism, class, and mental health. Through a nuanced examination of the intersections between public and private lives, Ravinthiran's work challenges societal norms and politics that seek to divide us. With its unique blend of analytical insight and emotional depth, this collection offers a powerful exploration of what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world. Shortlisted for the 2019 Forward Prize for Best Collection, Vidyan Ravinthiran's "The Million-petalled Flower of Being Here" is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
