Book Synopsis

Alamgir Hashmi has been writing poetry for the past forty years, and is the first English-language writer to bring such recognition to English writing in Pakistan. Of his work, Ted Hughes wrote: "Hashmi's poems are a delight – sinuous and assured, serious with a light touch, full of character, surprise, authenticity. I read them with intense pleasure."

Trade Review
"Hashmi is now widely recognised as Pakistan's premier English-language poet and a major literary voice form Asia." Carlo Coppola; "It's the range of his voice and material, the willingness to travel wherever knowledge and experience might take him, that mark Hashmi as vital. He is also a political poet of courage, a poet of understanding, respect and 'justice'... this is a new and vigorous selection that shows the poet in all his diversity. His is a voice that belongs wherever it is read." John Kinsella"
