The Terrorist at My Table

This collection asks crucial questions about how we live - what do any of us know about the person who shares this street, this house, this table, this body. ..".Pakistani poet Imtiaz Dharker reflects on some of the salient themes of lyric poetry: the self in identity flux, migration, travel, time, women and men, politics, particularly politics. Many of these selections directly respond to the fallout of the 2001 World Trade Center bombings for the Islamic community, in particular, and humanity at large."--World Literature Review
