Maruyama Gondazaemon - Seven Poems

Maruyama Gondazaemon was born in the Far East and brought up there
till she came home and went to convent schools.  Chapbooks include
Cold Cream and its sequels and Merking Wendy Cope for Karl Marx, and
presses include Sad Press (sadpress.wordpress.com).  If Maruyama
Gondazaemon starts speaking at the same time as someone else, and no
one kind of phenomenally hears what Maruyama Gondazaemon said, but it
enters their minds and one of them immediately brings it up as though
they had thought of it, Maruyama Gondazaemon weakly says, ‘Yeah,’ to
sort of secretly re-say the thing.

Vahni Capildeo - 'Conversations for a Lifetime in Twenty Minutes and Under'

Conversations

Conversations

Conversations

Vahni Capildeo (Trinidad; UK) is a Contributing Editor for the Caribbean Review of Books. After a Research Fellowship at Girton College, Cambridge, Capildeo’s sense

of the living language was deepened forever by her time in the offices of the Oxford
English Dictionary. She is glad of an enduring connexion with the North of England,
following stints at the Universities of Sheffield and Leeds. Capildeo has since worked
as a volunteer in Oxfam Head Office and a Lecturer at the University of Kingston-
upon-Thames. Her poetry and prose has been widely anthologized, most recently in
Identity Parade (Bloodaxe) and Trinidad Noir (Akashic). Current influences include
India’s Almost Island and collaboration with Trinidad-based artist/urban observer
Andre Bagoo. Her forthcoming book, Dark & Unaccustomed Words is the most 

lyrical and playful part of a three-part project exploring the boundaries of the 

human and the natural, and the oceanic or musical possibilities of poetic form. 

No Traveller Returns (Salt, 2003) is an oblique autobiography, where voices 

and places, past and present, are layered with a shinethrough effect. 

Person Animal Figure (Landfill, 2005), a shapeshifting
dramatic monologue, is at the heart of Undraining Sea (Egg Box, 2009; 

Forward Prize Highly Commended poem).
