All you who sleep tonight

by Vikram Seth

......contains poems written over the course of seven years by VS, the author of the bestselling novel in verse, The Golden Gate. The unusual feature of this collection is its variety: the poems range from love poems to those dealing wth nature or travel, from a section of epigrammatical four-liners to longer narratives in the voices of those caught up in war and public crisis. As in The Golden Gate, Seth conveys his feelings with directness and clarity, and with the memorable use of rhyme and metre.
