Synopsis "The Million-Petalled Flower of Being Here (in English)"
Ravinthiran's second collection is a book of sonnets for his wife. These are love poems that turn analytical, consider the world, and in which the pronoun 'we' aspires to stand for a larger community, including (if you like) readers themselves. Many describe life for a mixed-race couple, considering both the redemptive force of love and the cultural origins of our discontent. Worrying at the link between society and our private lives, they scorn a politics which would put us all in separate boxes. Love, and imagination, may not conquer all, but as recent shocks suggest, `we' must at least try to understand people different to us. Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
