About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents The Epic of Cader Idris written and read by Samatar Elmi.

The debut collection from an electrifying new talent - a poet of philosophical depth, searching intellect, and lyric grace

'A daring, ambitious pleasure to read' ROGER ROBINSON

____________________________________

Intimate and epic, dark and profound, interweaving hip hop beats with the mythology of the British Isles, Samatar Elmi's A Darker Light is an unforgettable debut collection about the gift and curse of diaspora.

With a watchful eye on the minutiae of nature's cycles of life and death, and a profound connection to the land and language that make and unmake our histories, Elmi's poems shine with grace and blaze with defiance.©2024 Samatar Elmi (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Poetry Themes & Styles Witty

Critic reviews

'Samatar Elmi is engaged in the timeless project that is at poetry’s root; that of bringing disparate consciousnesses into dynamic, thrilling, relation across boundaries of time and space' (KAYO CHINGONYI)
