Hera at last is a definitive edition that brings together the best from the published and new poetry of Rienzi Crusz, who has been called "arguably the best living Sri Lankan poet in English."* But Crusz is also very much a poet of exile, who speaks about ice in the northern outdors and in the climate of the heart, reporting to God about his recent whereabouts surrounded by his umbrella of children, concocting his world of cinnabar, Talapath, elephants, mahouts and basmati even as he spins out dark antonyms in his paradise and finds that glint of pleasure in his snowbound Canadian surroundings. At all times Crusz displays the gift of language and image in "batik profuison" for which he has come to be admired.
