Icelight
Icelight (Hb) — Hardback is Ranjit Hoskote’s eighth collection of poetry, a bold encounter with life at the edge of a world redefined by flame, memory, and catastrophe. This hardback edition speaks to readers of contemporary poetry, to those who relish language that is both exacting and expansive, and to anyone seeking a meditative, urgently relevant reading experience. The poems move between adventurous risk-taking and contemplative reverie, offering a voice that is at once restless and hopeful.
In Icelight, the poems unfold as a sequence that travels between audacious exploration and quiet retreat, between doubt and belief, melancholy and momentum. Hoskote unseals deep scales of geological time and layers of historical memory, keeping a wary eye on the crises reverberating through our planet with war and ecocide as looming backdrops. The writing is richly imagined—crystal-clear imagery, precise cadence, and a pace that invites rereading—creating an experience that is intimate as it is panoramic. The collection offers a humane reminder of departures and transitions, while staying rooted in language that can be read aloud, reflected upon, and shared. Hoskote’s poems have been translated into German, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Irish, Swedish, Spanish and Arabic, testifying to the universal pull of these themes.
- Eighth poetry collection by Ranjit Hoskote, tackling transitions, mortality, and planetary crisis
- Lush, precise language that threads geological time with memory and history
- Juxtaposition of audacious exploration and contemplative retreat, with a distinctive, musical cadence
- Rich, imagistic presentation—landscapes, time, and memory that invite rereading
- Hardback edition with durable binding and a collectible, beautiful design
- International resonance, with translations into German, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Irish, Swedish, Spanish and Arabic
After finishing Icelight, readers carry a sense of connection across time and place, a heightened awareness of impermanence, and a resolve to face the present with empathy and courage. The collection lingers, inviting ongoing reflection on how individuals and communities endure, adapt, and imagine a more aware world.
