Fantasia
Nisha Ramayya
Fantasia hazards a listening walk through seashells, telecommunication networks, and cosmic vibrations, to learn something new about how we sound. Alice Coltrane’s experiments in jazz and spiritual community guide these poems that hum and glitch, that leap across space-time, landing in and reflecting the discordant music of life on earth.
£12.99
An exploration of exploration... Full of insight, energy, wit and curiosity... These pieces have all the rigour, mischief, candour and assured vulnerability of expert improvisation. To read Nisha Ramayya is excitement itself
Eley Williams
Extraordinary... Nisha Ramayya is a poet who listens carefully to everything, allowing us to concentrate on the listener and heed what she tells us is heard... There are books of poetry to enjoy, but there are other books where poems are a map to living in this world, and this book is one of the best guides
CAConrad
Oh! Mythic and mattering, melodious stuff... I have travelled, and my language won't be the same again; enchanted, relearned, remembered. Nisha Ramayya is cosmic, a one-of-a-kind, a once-in-a-generation artistic genius
