Description

All discipline
a deception to hide the wildness, all symmetry
an excuse for keeping count.

Tomorrow Someone Will Arrest You cements Meena Kandasamy as one of the most exciting, radical thinkers at work today. These poems chronicle wanting, art-making, and the practising of resistance and solidarity in the face of a hostile state. Here, the personal is political, and Kandasamy moves between sex, desire, family and wider societal issues of caste, the refugee crisis, and freedom of expression with grace and defiance. This is a bold, unforgettable collection by a poet who compels us to sit up and listen.

Publisher Review

Tomorrow Someone Will Arrest You is an extraordinary exploration into a deep vulnerability and truth; Meena Kandasamy is an incredibly beautiful poet, prophetic, powerful and empowering. * Salena Godden, author of MRS DEATH MISSES DEATH * Thank god for writing like this. For books like this. * Max Porter, author of Lanny on Exquisite Cadavers * Slyly funny and profoundly thoughtful... a work of brilliance. * Financial Times on Exquisite Cadavers * There is nothing Kandasamy can't do. * Zeba Talkhani, author of My Past is A Foreign Country * A brilliant but brutal punch to the guts. * Monisha Rajesh, author of Around the World in 80 Trains, on When I Hit You *
