Book description
Sujata Bhatt's first book of poems, the award-winning Brunizem,
appeared in 1988. In a very short time she has gained recognition as
one of the distinct and reckonable new voices. She has things to say
about her native India and her native tongue (Gujarati), about America
and Britain, and about Germany where she now lives. She is, the New
Statesman declared, 'one of the finest poets alive', and alive in a
unique way to language, to issues of politics and gender, to place and
history. Hers is a remarkable complete imagination, generous and at
the same time unsparingly severe in its quest for the difficult truths
of experience.
