A cast of 'Indic-heritage poets' meets to perform poems and discuss
the future of poetry. indiom engages eclectic, often Rabelaisian
styles on subjects as various as the Indian poet Nissim Ezekiel,
Shakespearean comedy, Under Milk Wood, The Simpsons and Newcastle
United. Daljit Nagra's mock epic scrutinises the legacies of Empire
and issues such as power and status, casteism and colourism,
mimicry and mockery. What is Britishness now? How can humour help
us survive hardship? The result is a capacious 'talkie'/poem/play
of resistance and redress whose ludic structures defy boundaries: a
story of intertextual and misplaced identities, gods and miracles,
celluloid tragedy and blushing romantic desire amid an awkwardly
rolling cricket ball and rioting poodles.
