Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An anguished god surveys a world stricken by fundamentalism in these powerful poems by a writer whose cultural experience spans three countries: Pakistan, the country of her birth, and Britain and India, her countries of adoption. Her main themes are drawn from a life of transitions: childhood, exile, journeying, home, displacement, religious strife and terror, and latterly, grief. She is also an accomplished artist, and all her collections are illustrated with her drawings, which form an integral part of her books. The terrorist at my table asks crucial questions about how we live now - working, travelling, eating, listening to the news, preparing for attack. What do any of us know about the person who shares this street, this house, this table, this body? When life is in the hands of a fellow-traveller, a neighbour, a lover, son or daughter, how does the world shift and reform itself around our doubt, our belief? Imtiaz Dharker's poems and pictures hurtle through a world that changes even as we pass. This is life seen through distorting screens - a windscreen, a TV screen, newsprint, mirror, water, breath, heat haze, smokescreen. Her book grows, layer by layer, through three sequences: The terrorist at my table, The habit of departure and Worldwide Rickshaw Ride. Each cuts a different slice through the terrain of what we think of as normal. But through all the uncertainties and concealments, her poems unveil the delicate skin of love, trust and sudden recognition. Imtiaz Dharker is an accomplished artist. Like all her collections, The terrorist at my table is illustrated with her drawings, which form an integral part of the book. In A Terrorist at My Table, an anguished god surveys a world stricken by fundamentalism in these powerful poems by a writer whose cultural experience spans three countries: Pakistan, the country of her birth, and Britain and India, her countries of adoption. It was Imtiaz Dharker's third book from Bloodaxe. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

DESCRIPTION - There are a lot of wonderful poems about babies. When choosing her most loved ten poems about babies, poet Imtiaz Dharker's wish-list was many times too long.

Hardcover, Slipcased. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: None issued. Mikki Lee (illustrator). 1st Edition. Please contact me regarding possible discounts - I will be winding down the store over the next few weeks/months, so there is a little wiggle room om some of my in-stock books, including Suntup, Folio Society, Centipede Press, etc. Signed by Imtiaz Dharker and Mikki Lee via a specially-designed bookplate. Illustrated, signed and remarqued (hand-sketched with original artwork on the title page) by Mikki Lee Selected and introduced by Imtiaz Dharker Romantic, passionate, unrequited, lost and embittered: infinite expressions of love are collected in Love Poems; a unique Folio Society edition selected by the 'world poet laureate' Imtiaz Dharker. Winner of the prestigious Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry 2014, Dharker is a prominent figure in the poetry sphere, but she is also an award-winning filmmaker and globally exhibited artist. Born in Pakistan, Dharker works between Britain and India and is widely published and exhibited around the world. In Love Poems, she has embraced the cultural diversity of classical and contemporary poetry, delving into archives for little-known poems, while also showcasing the better-known stalwarts of the poetry canon. An exciting, fresh and diverse collection, the poems are complemented by Mikki Lee's stunning artwork. Winner of the prestigious Book Illustration Competition, Lee's prize commission is a beautiful interpretation of the work that sets apart this unique volume that will be treasured by poetry fans. From tempestuous and passionate to subtle and pensive, the wide-ranging voices and experiences in Love Poems will resonate with readers of all ages. Dharker has skilfully woven a narrative through her selection, with poems loosely grouped around themes rather than arranged according to geography or timeline. The ebb and flow of style, length, era and language is refreshing and fluid, as love is portrayed in myriad ways. There are chance encounters in Walt Whitman's 'To a Stranger' and Vladimír Holan's 'Meeting in a Lift'; passionate love is portrayed in Emily Dickinson's 'Wild nights - Wild nights!' and Petronius' 'Good god, what a night that was'; and loss is keenly felt in R. S. Thomas's 'A Marriage'. Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes appear together in print as in life, and the yearning for an absent love is simply and beautifully portrayed in Constantine Cavafy's 'Come back'. Snippets of Sappho are translated from Greek, while Arabic, Catalan, Tamil, Chinese, Irish and French are among the many native languages of the poets included in this emotive and joyful collection.
