Peepal Tree Press Ltd South African Woodcut
Based on the experiences of a lecture and reading tour in South Africa, these poems deal with the state of a society just unfreezing from apartheid, but in indirect ways which illuminate by their obliqueness."The poems deal with that landscape, each one like a sharply etched woodcut, ranging from a fine tribute to a poet caught 'under the strong shaft of the Johannesburg sun' of this politically volcanic city, to a 'frozen image' of sacred ibises in Durban's Botanical Garden. None of his poems is tendentious, but each is tense with quiet intensity."Mario Relich, Lines ReviewSudeep Sen lives and works in New Delhi & London. He is the editorial director of AARK ARTS.

Peepal Tree Press Ltd Mount Vesuvius in Eight Frames
Mount Vesuvius in Eight Frames is a slim volume containing eight poems by Sudeep Sen and eight etchings by Peter Standen. The poems are meditations on the aftermath of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, which destroyed the Italian city of Pompeii, and the etchings provide pictorial representations of the love-death nexus on which these meditations focus. Together the poems and the etchings evoke an ironic vision of the perennial "macabreness" of the Vesuvian catastrophe. Between them they conjure up an intriguing "idyll" of unlamented mortality, with neither solemnity nor sentimentality attending on the singular phenomenon of death dreaming of life."Joseph John, World Literature TodaySudeep Sen lives and works in New Delhi & London.
