Taking in its sights Matthew Arnold's 'land of dreams', the
collection explores the idealism and reality of a multicultural
Britain with wit, intelligence and no small sense of mischief.
Nagra, whose own parents came to England from the Punjab in the
1950s, conjures a jazzed hybrid language to tell stories of
aspiration, assimilation, alienation and love. By turns realist and
romantic, these charged and challenging poems never shy from
confrontation, but remain, always, touched by a humorous zeal and
an appetite for living. This beautifully designed edition forms
part of a series of ten titles celebrating Faber's publishing over
the decades.
