Measures Of Expatriation by Vahni Capildeo
An experimental, lyric exploration of displacement and identity, the book weaves fragments of memory, archival lists, and formal meditations on measurement to examine how language, scale, and belonging are negotiated across migration and loss. Through precise, sometimes playful attention to numbers, units, and taxonomies, the poems map journeys between home and elsewhere and interrogate how bodies and words are measured, categorized, and unmoored. The result is an intimate, philosophically engaged sequence that reframes exile as a condition of language, inheritance, and perpetual translation.
