I'll Have it Here

Thayil, Jeet

I'll Have it Here - New Delhi Fourth Estate 2024 - 82

Ill Have It Here, Jeet Thayils long-awaited new collection of poems -- his first since the Sahitya Akademi Award-winning These Errors Are Correct (2008) -- is a dazzle of rhyme in the orchard of song, a contemporary survey of history and culture, and an exercise in spiritual jaywalking along the streets of New York City and New Delhi and Budapest, at the foot of Orion, with the likes of Gandhi, Spiderman, Emily Dickinson, St Gregory and Ibn Battuta. Poetry is rarely so full of compassion and contempt, exhilaration and restraint. Ill Have It Here adds new poetics and politics to Thayils already wide-ranging body of work
