Hold your Breath
Bok av Waqas Khwaja
Anger, nostalgia, evocative eroticism and amorphous love for the universal characterise the poems in this collection, which range from the poet's native Pakistan to his new home in America and a world that includes not only Emily Dickinson and centaurs dancing, but also Islamophobia and the blinding effects of living in the land of the Cyclopes.
