A Leaf upon a Book

Many a time verse letters from this casementbear scribblings of obsessionsof society’s hitches and surprises for selfof cloudy climes and sun-kissed orchardsof wildernesses and tempestuous deepsof candid summers and invisible stringsof praise to the Prophet (PBUH) of gallantry of his progenyof a deft metamorphosisof the play of the counterfeit selfof a response to Dickinson's verse and a cynic’s shells.A medley of 25 poems holding something for everyone.--“Anam Tariq’s debut poetry collection is very special in its themes semantics and visual appeal. It emotes powerful thoughtful and keen observations on myriad issues of global concern. The language is full of imagery and exquisitely woven somewhat reminiscent of Wordsworth Frost and Shakespeare.”- ANITA NAHAL Indian American poet children’s writer and professor author of Hey Spilt Milk Is Spilt Nothing Else
