Staff Picks for April 2013
Posted by mamta on Monday, April 22, 2013 (18:09:45)
The ugly face of terror raises its head once in a way. The Boston bombings and many other terror strikes across the world is a reminder of the hatred and anger that reside in the minds of many who always end up targeting the innocent and children. My first pick for this month is a poem that shows the effect these kind of gruesome acts have on children and adults as well.

Staff Picks for July 2012
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 20, 2012 (17:32:51)
It's known to all of us that a poem is never fully complete. There are poets who enjoy revisiting their old poems and bring out a completely revised version with the original metaphor or thought being the same. The initial write must have been written at a different time, with a different perspective. People evolve with time and experience and so does a poet's thinking.

An interview with Sadiqullah khan!

An Interview with Sadiqullah Khan
------------------------------
By
Shahzia Batool Naqvi
The canvas of English Poetry in Pakistan has been studded with the new trends of poetry by Shahid Suharwardy, Ahmed Ali, Alamgir Hashmi, Taufiq Rafat, Daud Kamal, Makki Kureishi and others, but they remained isolated due to lack of a collective platform and failed to make an impact. The scene is not of an intellectual void as it is thought abroad, and the tradition of English poetry which apparently seems to have lost its battle, is not lost yet, but there’s a dire need of the publishing forums and platforms of the exposure of the hidden talent. One such name on the contemporary scene is Mr. Sadiqullah Khan.
