Odyssey Calling

Vahni Capildeo's Odyssey Calling is a completely stunning work of velocity, vision and hospitality. These poems make you feel at home, except what is 'home'? They do not deal in public legitimacy: they do not speak properly, nor ask to be listened to properly. You seem a stranger to these poems, so probably they will treat you like a trickster god.
