Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Written around the time of my mothers death, these poems take the days weather as a starting-point before spinning off in their own directions. They express the effects of weather on my mood and imagination and a desire to reconnect with the animal self - several are about small creatures, mostly real, some imaginary. The only person, apart from the speaker, that appears in these poems is the figure of my mother. Her absence, echoing her absence in my childhood, seems now, as then, to have intensified my relationship with the natural world - the huge presences of sky, stars, sun, moon, and the smaller presences of flora and fauna. By way of elegising my mothers death, I celebrate these living companions. Although they have a sad undertow, I hope the poems are light and playful without denying the dark and dangers in the wider world. - Mimi Khalvati, 2013 Written around the time of my mothers death, these poems take the days weather as a starting-point before spinning off in their own directions. They express the effects of weather on my mood and imagination and a desire to reconnect with the animal self - several are about small creatures, mostly real, some imaginary.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Childhood must be one of poetry's very favourite subjects. Countless poems try to capture the light and shade of being very young moments that lodge vividly in our adult memories. This beautiful mini-anthology ventures off the beaten track with poems that will be new to many readers. From a group of children who: ".thought words travelled the wires In the shiny pouches of raindrops," - from 'The Railway Children' by Seamus Heaney to a baby entranced by mirrors and glass, we see the world in language that sparkles with newness. Mimi Khalvati's selection reflects her fascination with how we learn to talk and read, and there are poems about a first encounter with books and about children from different cultures playing ball and swapping words in a village square. Mimi Khalvati is an award-winning poet and founder of the Poetry School. Poems by Kayo Chingonyi, Jane Duran, Louise Glueck, Seamus Heaney, Elizabeth Jennings, Mimi Khalvati, Hannah Lowe, James Merrill, Tracy K Smith and James Womack. Cover illustration by Celia Hart. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. In this, her boldest collection to date, Mimi Khalvati takes the weather, the seasons and the passage of night and day as the ground on which she draws her emblems of human life and love. Restricting herself in each poem to sixteen lines, set in couplets, Khalvati plays kaleidoscopic variations on this form, the lyric falling differently each time, yet the book as a whole retaining a powerful coherence. As the scene shifts from London to the Mediterranean to the Canaries, the poems gain resonance from each other with cumulative intensity, spinning connections across scale and distance. The Weather Wheel is a radiant celebration of the living world despite the loss that lies at the book's heart.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. A 2019 Poetry Book Society Winter Wild Card.A Sunday Times Book of the Year 2019. Ever since her first Carcanet book, In White Ink (1991), Mimi Khalvati has been drawn to the sonnet form. In Afterwardness its pull became irresistible. She has created in this unprogrammatic series, mixing memory, history, daily life, all her intersecting geographies and cultures, a self-portrait in all her moods, anxieties and delights. The sonnet form is stretched in all sorts of fruitful directions. Just as she adapted the ghazal form to English use, here she puts the Petrarchan sonnet to striking, unfamiliar use, widening the possibilities of the form. The poems are rich with Khalvati's personal history, her Iranian origins, her long years in Great Britain. The poems play between cultures, ancestral and acquired.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Wordsworth's 'meanest flower that blows' suggested to him 'thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears'. The lyrics, elegies, songs and ghazals in Mimi Khalvati's new book pay attention to things the imagination generally disregards, an attention that is concentrated, intense and unapologetically Romantic. Hers is the true voice of feeling, undeflected by irony or self-deprecation. There is rapture in these poems as well as a tragic sense: nature, childhood, motherhood and family relationships all have a double valency, a give and take, to which Khalvati witnesses with a feeling sharpened by love and grief.
