Daljit Nagra’s 2007 Look We Have Coming to Dover! has been the most acclaimed poetry debut in recent years, as well as one of the most accessible.

Nagra, whose own parents came to England from the Punjab in the 1950s, draws on both English and Indian-English traditions to tell stories of alienation, assimilation, aspiration and love, from a stowaway’s first footprint on Dover Beach to the disenchantment of subsequent generations.

“This is visceral, life-affirming poetry.” THE GUARDIAN

“Fresh, funny and riotously idiosyncratic... the best poetic debut in years” THE INDEPENDENT
