Raptors is, without a doubt, the best poetry book that I have read so far this year - Tellegen is an exciting and playful writer, but big credit should also be given to Judith Wilkinson who did such a marvellous and job of translating it. 
 Raptors is a kind of story in poems focusing on a fictional father figure - each poem starts with the words "My Father..." The poems hover between magical realism, myth, and straight metaphor, but that makes them sound a little dry. These poems are anything but dry. They are seriously playful - they dance, sing, shout and wring their hands, all at the same time. 
 If I was asked to copare them to anything I would say maybe Vasko Popa and Charles Simic, with a bit of Selima Hill an Moniza Alvi thrown in.
