Synopsis
Quiet, lulling, beguiling, and shocking, the poems in this collection explore the essential world of all things sensual. Reality is dissected in all its complex, tragic, and surreal forms. Playful and gruesome metaphors return again and again to themes of fire, ocean, moon, blood, and love. In sharply visioned images, the ironies of travel, the nonsense of religious exclusion and inclusion, and the politics that govern the world are explored.

Paperback. Etat : New. From beginnings secreted in the folds of her mother's sari, transplanted to England to struggle with the rough musicality of Mancunian vowels, Raman Mundair, a Punjabi Alice, found no true reflection of herself, no wonderland, but mirrors which dissolved, shrank and obscured her size. In these poems she creates her own universe and dissects its realities in all their complex, tragic and surreal forms.At the heart of the collection is an acute sensitivity to the body: hurt, aroused, desired, ignored. Her poems spill out from this centre: to the physical memory of domestic violence, the intense joys of intimacy and love, and the pain of their rejection, to a passionate concern with the body politic. Here, whether her focus is on the non-sense of religious exclusion, the seismic fault of partition that continues to tremor, or the racist murders of Stephen Lawrence and Ricky Reel, the approach is oblique, metaphorical, observant of the details that carry the poems beyond political statement. For Mundair, there is, too, a world beyond Britain, seen with more than just a vivid eye for the ironies and pleasures of travel.Raman Mundair's voice encompasses the most delicate, shimmering images and a raw, abrasive, sometimes angry energy. There is a probing intellect at work that arranges the world in new ways, and a sensuous truth to feeling that puts the reader inside the experience of the poems. Each poem has its own distinctiveness, but there is also an architecture that makes the collection a satisfying whole.There is room, too, for a sense of the absurd and a macabre sense of humour. How would you deal with the thief of your heart?"She is constantly sensual. tempered by a delicate care for detail, a quality of consideration that engages in the philosophical in sometimes complex ways." - Kwame DawesRaman Mundair is a writer and artist. She was born in Ludhiana, India and came to live in the UK at the age of five. She is the author of two volumes of poetry, A Choreographer's Cartography and Lovers, Liars, Conjurers and Thieves.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In this collection Raman Mundair's quiet, spell-like truths are lulling, beguiling and shocking. How would you deal with the thief of your heart? In 'The Catch' Mundair chooses her mother's blade. 'Her finest slint of steel/and I shall fillet you like the prized fish you are.' Her imaginary revenge is as sweet and fluid as the oil she anoints her lover with. The language lures you, siren-like away from the page, enticing you into Mundair's essential world of all things sensual. You can smell love lost, hear the brutal slice of flesh. Lovers, Liars, Conjurers and Thieves dissects the real in all its complex, tragic and surreal forms. Mundair picks the scab off a wound to get to life's juice through playful and gruesome metaphor, returning again and again to fire, ocean, moon, blood and love. Mundair's poetry moves you literally, physically, historically and culturally. Her sophisticated gaze considers the apparent non sense of racial and religious exclusion/inclusion and of the politics that govern our world, while her innovative intertwining of the English, Urdu and Hindi languages constructs a powerful, hopeful vision of a society all the richer for its multiculturalism. Quiet, lulling, beguiling, and shocking, the poems in this collection explore the essential world of all things sensual. Reality is dissected in all its complex, tragic, and surreal forms. Playful and gruesome metaphors return again and again to themes of fire, ocean, moon, blood, and love. In sharply visioned images, the ironies of travel, the nonsense of religious exclusion and inclusion, and the politics that govern the world are explored.
