Poetry from the UK & Ireland

Subhadassi is a practising Buddhist and much of his poetry is imbued with the texture of Buddhism although the poet rarely confronts it head on. There is a compassion, honesty, humour, tenderness and sensuousness about these poems which makes them both eminently readable and strikingly memorable.

The Museum of Light is a strong and unusual collection, in which the five discreet parts of 'Background Noise', the uncompromising sequence that forms the backbone of this book, are interspersed by a tapestry of contrasting poems, some ironic, some light-hearted, some delicately lyrical.

The reader embarks on a journey that is both arduous and revealing, a journey from an indeterminate starting point to an indeterminate destination by way of a rich collage of ideas, images, voices and landscapes that are at once familiar and unrecognized.
