Books by Imtiaz Dharker

Imtiaz Dharker's themes are drawn from a life of transitions: childhood, exile, journeying, home, displacement, religious strife and terror, and latterly, grief. In Luck Is the Hook chance plays a part in finding or losing loved people and places. All her collections are illustrated with her drawings, which form an integral part of the book.

Imtiaz Dharker's themes are drawn from a life of transitions: childhood, exile, journeying, home, displacement, religious strife and terror, and latterly, grief. Over the Moon is her fifth book from Bloodaxe: poems of joy and sadness, of mourning and celebration: poems about music and feet, church bells, beds, bad language and sudden silence.

The title-sequence of Imtiaz Dharker's third collection speaks for the devil in acknowledging that in many societies women are respected, or listened to, only when they are carrying someone else inside their bodies - a child; a devil. For some, to be "possessed" is to be set free.

Postcards from god was Imtiaz Dharker's first book from Bloodaxe. It combines two collections published separately in India, Purdah (1989) and Postcards from god (1994).

A book of poems and drawings that presents themes which are drawn from a life of transitions: childhood, exile, journeying, home, displacement, religious strife and terror.

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.
