Zaffar Kunial's 'Us' was shortlisted for a number of awards including the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Costa Poetry Award.

'Kunial’s gift is to examine language in a clinically precise manner to measure belonging, distance and love.'

' With an impressive clutch of techniques, Kunial is a fine teller of stories.'

Reviews for 'Us':
'Rich in form and reverent references, Us transports the reader from the hills of Pakistan to the schoolgrounds of Stratford-upon-Avon, from George Herbert to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.'

'His first full book, which has come together slowly, patiently, over several years... He can do clear-eyed and tender inside a single poem, without any hint of glibness. Fun fact: he used to earn his living writing verse for Hallmark cards.'


'Zaffar Kunial possesses that rare quality of negative capability which Keats first identified in Shakespeare ; the poems hold us among mysteries and doubts, without pronouncing or attempting to resolve. Their beauty lies in their indecisiveness – their quiet refusal to settle matters or hold to a single view.'

'Highlights of the year include the Heaney-esque lyricism of British-Indian poet Zaffar Kunial's accomplished debut Us.'

Reviews for 'Six':
'Kunial’s style is a wise vernacular that Auden would have loved . . . Six is a pamphlet to read and re-read; its words are so plain and so well put together that you won’t realise until much later how permanently they’ve marked you, like a grass stain.'

'Zaffar Kunial, King for a Summer of The Oval, the country’s best pace bowler of the human heart.'
