Overview of Full Disclosure: New and Collected Poems (1981 2017) Book

Here is a book worth celebrating: Manohar Shetty s Full Disclosure: New and Collected Poems (1981 2017), which gathers more than thirty years of work from a major voice in world Anglophone poetry. More accurately, this book presents a range of voices in some of the multi-sectioned poems, a choir as Shetty writes through a variety of personae and perspectives, delivering emotionally resonant deep imagery and intellectual precision, profound compassion and ironic wit, in equal parts. In Shetty s work the natural world impinges on domestic life at every turn, creating an environment transformed through contact as well as the poet s observation: a spider becomes a yoyo,/A jiggling asterisk: a footnote: and even on the bookshelves silverfish burrow in flaking tomes. A meditation on the sick warmth of self-induced pain finds its antiphone elsewhere in the strange gawky cackle of a peacock, in its beak a full-grown/Krait, slick hexagonal scales/Panicky and porous. And running throughout the course of this brilliant career is a weighted humour, whether Shetty is recounting the secrets to a happy life offered by various characters ( external is eternal, one handsome man concludes, while another urges simply, Drink. Siesta. ) or mourning the changes at home, where, with the children gone Myspace and Facebook/do not twitter/all day long. This collection provides us with a broad survey of a celebrated poet s past and present while offering an enticement for his and our future. John Hennessy, poetry editor of The Common. Imbued with the quietude of still waters that run deep, controlled and nuanced, Full Disclosure is one of the best set of collected poems to shine its light on lovers of poetry. Hindustan Times Past to the present, Shetty s work is a kaleidoscope. The patterns can soothe or jar, but they certainly evoke sharp emotions. The poems in this volume from the 1980s to the present are born of deep surmising and conflict, observations that are fleetingly trivial as well as a record of significant events. Business Line
