Poet Lavinia Greenlaw, who chaired the committee for the T.S. Eliot prize, said of Kapil’s How to Wash a Heart, “This is a unique work that exemplifies how poetry can be tested and remade to accommodate uncomfortable and unresolvable truths. … It’s a book that one of the judges said, ‘Every time you start it, you have to finish it.’ There’s nothing like it.” – The Guardian (UK)
