Measures of Expatriation
Measures of Expatriation | Vahni Capildeo
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Vahni Capildeo is known for the experimental edge in her work and her love of collaborating on live performances with fellow poets. In this compelling new collection from the Trinidadian-born poet and Rhodes scholar, her uninhibited style invites us to delve deep between the lines and experience for ourselves the heartaches and emotional challenges that come from separation; both from a testing relationship and one's motherland.

This is Capildeo's seventh poetry collection. Published in January 2016 it went on to win the Forward Prize for best poetry collection (a prize Rankine had won last year). The book tackles the question of what it is of living between homes, places, traditions, ideas. Capildeo's style is varied, sometimes her poems sit right on the edge between poetry and short stories others are shorter and way less narrative driven.
