About the Book

Utter displays all the vibrancy, originality and experimentalism that have come to define Vahni Capildeo's work. Together her insights break down the boundaries between past and present, between the Caribbean and the global elsewhere, between the experienced world and the world of books. Much of what she finds is unjust, cruel and corrupt, but she also retains a sensuous eye for beauty, and moments of humour, tenderness and community. Vahni Capildeo was born in Trinidad, and has lived in the UK since 1991. Her previous poetry collections are No Traveller Returns (Salt, 2003), Undraining Sea (Egg Box, 2009) and Dark & Unaccustomed Words (Egg Box, 2010). Her prose appears in Iain Sinclair's London: City of Disappearances (Penguin, 2006) and Jeanne Mason and Lisa Allen-Agostini's Trinidad Noir (Akashic, 2008). She lives in Oxford.

About the Author :
Vahni Capildeo is the author of the poetry collections Dark & Unaccustomed Words, No Traveller Returns, Person Animal Figure, and Undraining Sea, and her work has appeared in the anthologies Identity Parade, In the Telling, and The Oxford Book of Caribbean Verse. She is a contributing editor and the UK agent and representative for the Caribbean Review of Books and a member of the International Advisory Board for the Journal of Indo-Caribbean Studies.

Review :
"If Capildeo keeps writing like this, then we other poor scribes will mass to break her cunning nails and delicious bones, pull out her unique glimmering teeth and pluck out her sincere and breathtaking heart long before we dare touch her sensual Gnostic tongue." --Brian Catling "This is an important literary debut: the sound of a new, unique, captivating voice. The journey she describes with such ferocity and such an ebullient, unexpected sense of fun is also emotional, and she entices the reader into travelling with her. She triumphantly disproves the pessimism of her title: undiscovered countries are here spread out before us, ready for exploration." --Peter Conrad "Vahni Capildeo's profoundly intelligent poems are original in a very unusual way. They are modern, but composed without fear of traditional subjects or language. Every topic springs to life, in a way that is both disturbing and beautiful. These are life-enhancing poems that stay with you long after you have closed the book." --Bernard O'Donoghue "This extraordinary poetic sequence is a kind of linked fantasia, the unflagging play of a powerful intelligence and consciousness over a series of themes: monsters of self-awareness or personal encounters, interspersed with memories and mental insights of piercing power and sympathy. It is an astonishing debut." --Bernard O'Donoghue
