Longlisted for the Laurel Prize for Ecopoetry, Taz Rahman's East of the Sun, West of the Moon is named after the 1935 jazz standard, and like any great jazz tune - many of which inspire these poems - this collection is full of improvisation and innovation with language, and it demands a quality of listening carefully to the world, of paying attention. Many of these poems are from the perspective of a flaneur, someone who wanders through the city - in this case Cardiff - registering impressions about the people and things observed. This includes a deep fascination for nature as encountered in city parks and on the banks of the River Taff as it winds its way through the metropolis.
Taz Rahman is a Cardiff based poet, writer and literary content creator. He has been published in Poetry Wales, Bad Lilies, Interpreter's House, South Bank Poetry, Anthropocene, Propel, Atrium, Abridged, The Lonely Crowd, Atrium, Planet - The Welsh Internationalist, Honest Ulsterman, Nation Cymru, Culture Matters and various anthologies. He was one of the judges for the 2021 Poetry Wales Pamphlet Competition. In 2021 he was awarded a place in the Literature Wales writer development programme Representing Wales. He was selected for the 2023 Hay Festival Writers at Work scheme.
