About the book

Arundhathi Subramaniam’s poems explore ambivalences — the desire for adventure and anchorage, expansion and containment, vulnerability and strength, freedom and belonging, withdrawal and engagement, language as exciting resource and as desperate refuge. These are poems of wonder and precarious elation, and all the roadblocks and rewards on the long dangerous route to recovering what it is to be alive and human. Winner of the inaugural Khushwant Singh Poetry Prize and shortlisted for the 2014 T.S. Eliot Prize, When God Is a Traveller is a remarkable book of poetry.

By turns both laconic and passionate, she asks questions about morality and integrity that many poets simply refuse to take on. Yet she is also an extraordinary love poet ... A remarkable book from a remarkable poet. - JOHN BURNSIDE

[O]ne of the finest poets writing in India today ... It is not dulcet music you hear in [her poetry]. It’s the swish of swordplay, each poem skewered at sabre-point and then placed on an electric grille to sizzle like a rasher on a barbecue. - KEKI DARUWALLA

[A] strong personality and an individual voice; her poems feel as if they are meant to be read aloud as well as on the page. - BRUCE KING
