Overview
Searing images of a city whose shutter speeds are so furiously fast that its people often miss the picture, a hyper-real presentation of the psychosis of power, fraught recollections of life in the shadow of death - this collection of new and selected poems, Portraits of the Space We Occupy, by one of India's best-known poets reveals, in glittering glimpses, a burnished and varied landscape. The words in these verses are contained, but barely.
And it is this unrelenting tension between the words and the worlds they seek to shape that lends the poems a rare tensile quality. Also included in this collection are Surendran's celebrated short verses from Posthumous Poems.
