The Ramazan Libation
Lyrical, compassionate and personal on the one hand, ironical, political and wryly humorous on the other, these poems take us to America and Europe as well as through the rich, vibrant countryside and cities of Pakistan.
This is poetry which looks both to the East and the West and in so doing, establishes its unique position in English-language poetry — unusual, beautiful and enduring.
