Vahni Capildeo, author of Measures of Expatriation (Forward Prize, 2016), returns with a third Carcanet volume, \u003ci\u003eSkin Can Hold\u003c\/i\u003e. The collection marks an adventurous departure for a pen-and-paper poet. These texts are the fruit of collaborative experiments in theatre, dance and other performance, drawing on burlesque and mime as well as Capildeo's fascination with Caribbean masquerade. The poems are astir with voices and bodies usually kept 'between the lines' of poetry: a weeping poltergeist disrupting the decorum of a lyric; polyglot workmen along an ivory-towercity road. Novels are turned inside out to become dramas of sleaze and surveillance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vahni Capildeo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178410731X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784107314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Vahni Capildeo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938034024703,"sku":"9781784107314","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_46f761f4-0646-40d0-bfe3-1081e6cbbc0c.jpg?v=1681433356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/skin-can-hold-vahni-capildeo-9781784107314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
