Paperback. Zustand: New. Portrait of Colossus is a searingly forthright début that navigates parenting, masculinity, racism and ambiguities of identity. It articulates, with skill and sly humour, the migrant experience from the perspective of the second generation, the ones who "know [England]/ more than everywhere else/ put together". Brimming with vulnerability and pitched between the lilt of hooyo's admonitions and Ted Hughes' eye for the natural world, many of the poems reconcile disparate worlds, cultures and identities, firing them with the lyricism of Dawud's Psalms. Samatar seamlessly blends influences from Somali oral history, Ovidian tales and Homer's Odyssey into a poetics that makes Portrait of Colossus cathartic, musical, emotionally satisfying as well as erudite.…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. If language is music, it is apt that a playlist is a poem. It makes even more sense in The Epic of Cader Idris, coming from Samatar Elmi, a poet whose concerns with the origins of things and the landscape of the margins are expressed in language so lyrical that you could almost miss its politics in its own music: "almost invisible, like the stencil of words / whispered at the front on a frosty morning," as he writes in [Etymologies]. Where Childish Gambino sings "the algorhythm is perfect," Samatar comes with The Algoriddim after all, everything's better with a dancehall twist, even if snakes are running rings / all around us. As with his pamphlet Portrait of Colossus, this collection straddles the colloquial and the humorous, the philosophical and the mundane, always resonant with the quirks of a Yorkshireman of Somali heritage, one who knows the immigrant experience of modern Britain as intimately as he knows the cliffs and dales of his youth. The Epic of Cader Idris straddles the colloquial and the humorous, the philosophical and the mundane in language so lyrical that you could almost miss its politics in its own music, humming with the quirks one who knows the immigrant experience of modern Britain as intimately as the cliffs and dales of his youth.
