Mutton Rolls, Paperback / softback Book

Mutton Rolls Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

“Arji Manuelpillai hits the ground running with this debut and I freaking love it.

His poems are funny, irreverent, hugely affecting. He’s fidgety, darts moment to moment – you’ll rush after him, then suddenly find he’s stopped, spun on his heel and you’re face-to-face with his good-natured grin.

Manuelpillai will dial up the volume just to whisper something damn beautiful beneath its surface.

Every page of Mutton Rolls is tasty, and announces by increment a highly enjoyable new voice.” — Wayne Holloway-Smith“The poems in this brilliant, playful debut are multifarious though gratifyingly interlinked, addressing the subjects of Sri-Lankan British identity, masculinity, friendship, grief and love.

The tone is sometimes satirical, but there is no hiding behind satire in Arji Manuelpillai’s work – great tenderness and beauty characterise these poems, and the poet’s voice is completely original, entirely his own.” — Hannah Lowe
