Summary

Hello there, Poetry Lovers, Welcome to this This Week in Poetry with Professor Nedumaran. We are back with episode nine and in this installment, we're about to embark on a poetic journey with one of the most compelling voices of our time, Imtiaz Dharker. Born in Pakistan, and raised in Scotland, Imtiaz Dharker's life unfolds as a mosaic of diverse cultures and experiences. She divides her time between the bustling streets of London and the vibrant city of Mumbai, India. This intersection of mixed heritage and an itinerant lifestyle lies at the very heart of her poetry. Imtiaz Dharker's verses are a profound exploration of themes that span geographical and cultural displacement, the complexities of conflict, and the nuances of gender politics. Her words have a remarkable ability to challenge preconceived notions about home, freedom, and faith. Join us as we embark on this poetic journey with Imtiaz Dharker, an artist who fearlessly embraces unsettlement, as a form of settlement and offers us an exhilarating glimpse into life at the interstices. This is an episode that promises to touch your soul and expand your horizons. Welcome to This Week in Poetry - Episode Nine, featuring the poems of Imtiaz Dharker.
