Mimi Khalvati's Selected Poems (1991-97) draws on her three Carcanet collections, In White Ink (1991), Mirrorwork (1995) and Entries on Light (1997). It provides us with the essential Khalvati, from the ambitiously wrought formal poems, full of unusual personal shadows, through to the visual meditations in the long sequence Entries on Light. She brings into English poetry new formal and tonal elements: the dramtic interplay of form and syntax is impassioned.
