'I should never ask directions to my childhood', writes Fred D'Aguiar: 'There is no way back home'. The Rose of Toulouse is a book of geographies tracing the various places the poet has lived, their histories, and his own history as he travels away from who he was. His transformations and shifts - between Britain, Guyana and the USA - are his identity: 'Each year I travel, my passport photolooks less like me.' In both flexible free verse and more formally patterned poems, D'Aguiar conveys the fragility of flesh and the transience of memories.mehr

Praise for Continental Shelf: 'Sensitive... beautiful, visionary.' -- Frances Leviston, Poetry London 'Outstanding... Quietly crafted, calm, full of luminous details and texture, these poems offer a gentle, almost utopian, sturdiness.' --Charles Bainbridge, Guardianmehr
