'Industrious and prolific, Vahni Capildeo is a writer of apparently effortless variety in form and content... She belongs to no tribe or school or movement. This may make her a 'poet's poet', one for the cognoscenti; and yet... she deserves the widest audience possible.' - Times Literary Supplement; 'Capildeo remains a sui generis talent.' - The Telegraph; 'She is, among much else, a direct and sensual poet, warmly intimate and very funny.' - The Guardian
