Guernsey Literary Festival: Poetry Reading by Imtiaz Dharker

Join us for a special evening as Imtiaz Dharker reads from her latest work. Shadow Reader is a radiant criss-cross of encounters, messages and Punjabi proverbs, shot through with the dark thread of an unwelcome prophecy. The poems bind this looming curse to the occupation of countries, the earth and its creatures, those who own the story and those who redirect it through art or artifice. This is poetry as music, as momentum, as the taste and texture of languages, joyously sensuous and rich in images.
