ABOUT THE TITLE

This is life seen through distorting screens—a windscreen TV screen newsprint mirror water breath heat haze smokescreen. The Terrorist at My Table asks crucial questions about how we live now—working travelling eating listening to the news preparing for attack. What do any of us know about the person who shares this street this house this table this body? When life is in the hands of a fellow-traveller a neighbour a lover son or daughter how does the world shift and reform itself around our doubt our belief? Imtiaz Dharker’s poems and pictures in this book hurtle through a world that changes even as we pass. The book grows layer by layer through three sequences—‘The Terrorist at My Table’ ‘The Habit of Departure’ and ‘Worldwide Rickshaw Ride’—each cutting a different slice through the terrain of what we think of as normal. But through all the uncertainties and concealments her poems unveil the delicate skin of love trust and sudden recognition. Strong concerned economical poetry in which political activity homesickness urban violence religious anomalies are raised in an unobtrusive domestic setting all the more effectively for their coolness of treatment’—Alan Ross London Magazine Here is no glib internationalism or modish multiculturalism . . . Displacement here no longer spells exile; it means an exhilarating sense of life at the interstices. There is an exultant celebration of a self that strips off layers of superfluous identity with grace and abandon only to discover that it has not diminished but grown larger generous more inclusive’—Arundhathi Subramaniam Poetry International AUTHOR: Imtiaz Dharker was born in Lahore and grew up in Glasgow Scotland. A documentary film-maker and accomplished artist she conceives her books as sequences of poems and drawings. She is the author of Postcards from God (1997) and I Speak for the Devil (Penguin 2003).
