Daljit Nagra possesses one of the most distinctive voices in
contemporary English poetry. British Museum is his third
collection, following his electrifying version of the epic
Ramayana, and marks a significant departure of style to something
quieter, more contemplative and inquisitive, at times valedictory.
His political edge has been honed in a series of meditations and
reflections upon our heritage, our legacy, and the institutions
that define them: the BBC, Hadrian's Wall, the Sikh gurdwaras of
our towns, the British Museum of the title poem. With compassion
and charisma, Nagra explores the impact of the first wave of mass
migration to our shores, the Arab Spring, the allure of extremism
along with a series of personal poems about the pressures of
growing up in a traditional community. British Museum is a book
that asks profound questions of our ethics and responsibilities at
a time of great challenge to our sense of national identity.
