While half the world swept west,
we trickled eastward, one by one,
single-file, like fugitives. Next stop:
Abu Dhabi, where my father had a job,
and money, for the first time in years . . .
__________________________________________________
Flitting from the mud-soaked floors of Venice to the glittering, towering
constructions of the Abu Dhabi of his childhood and early adulthood, from
present-day London to North America, André Naffis-Sahely's bracingly
plain-spoken first collection gathers portraits of promised lands and those who
go in search of them: labourers, travellers, dreamers; the hopeful and the
dispossessed.
'Naffis-Sahely's poems usher the reader in to a world of reversals and risk . .
. His narratives hold memory to account'
DAVID HARSENT
