Zusammenfassung

Vahni Capildeo is a British Trinidadian writer of poetry and prose. Recent work also appears in New Poetries VI (Carcanet, 2015). "Vahni Capildeo's latest collection Simple Complex Shapes is uncharacteristically spare, the shortest of the poems just four words long. There are none of the expansive and involved pieces typical of her other collections: no prose poems and no long lyrics. Instead we have a sequence of miniatures, fragments even, some of the poems creating a visual shape on the page."- SImon Collings, Stride magazine
