"Rishi Dastidar is a ludic myth-maker, a satirist of keen eye and big heart." Karen McCarthy Woolf
Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak by Rishi Dastidar blooms with poems determined to do the generous work of love and hope – using the power of language to make change, express desire, and imagine the world as we'd like it to be. Dastidar's poems, with their deft skill in moving from the surreal to the profound, are a perfect burst of joy in challenging times, effervescent and seriously playful, romancing cityscapes and bursting with wit.
“These poems froth with ideas and formal daring. Dastidar has an impeccable ear for the language of our epoch. Seductive and sublime – or, in the poet’s words: ‘tender tending towards glorious’”
-- Clare Pollard'Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak embodies all the inventiveness and wit I’ve come to expect from Rishi Dastidar, whose humour first dazzles, then turns delight towards serious ends. These are poems that ‘open their arms to their world’ in all its richness and oddity, revelling in language and sensation, full of heart and hope. Dastidar is a poet who can intuit the patter in pattern, and reveal the wonders there.'
