Shortlisted for the 2022 Jhalak Prize The Poetry Book Society
Winter Choice 2021 Vahni Capildeo's Like a Tree, Walking is a fresh
departure, even for this famously innovative poet. Taking its title
from a story of sight miraculously regained, this book draws on
Capildeo's interest in ecopoetics and silence. Many pieces
originate in specific places, from nocturnes and lullabies in hilly
Port of Spain to 'stillness exercises' recording microenvironments
- emotional and aural - around English trees. These journeys offer
a configuration of the political that makes a space for new kinds
of address, declaration and relation. Capildeo takes guidance from
vernacular traditions of sensitivity ranging from Thomas A Clark
and Iain Crichton Smith to the participants in a Leeds libraries
project on the Windrush. Like a Tree, Walking is finally a book
defined by how it writes love.
