‘One of international poetry’s guiding stars.’ — Paul Cooper in New Welsh Review

‘In Fractals, Sudeep Sen has created an impressively unified account of his long-term engagement with poetry as fusion of both passion and precision. Sen’s international poetic reputation is founded on his distinct blend of personal, meditative lyricism with camera-sharp imagery and contemporary allusion. A vividly-focused, confident, comprehensive collection.’ — Jane Draycott

‘Sudeep Sen has a sharp eye for the irregularities of the global landscape — these are the “fractals” of his title. What is most remarkable is an unusual directness of expression which gives immediacy to his many experiments with form.’ — Elaine Feinstein     

‘Sudeep Sen’s poems are a present which bring — like all true poetry — so much companionship.’ — John Berger
