Bücher von Azad Ashim Sharma

"I am a muslim not a terrorist" is Azad Ashim Sharma's opening gambit in Against the Frame. The book's geography is vast; encompassing Meccan sands, the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and Barking, East London. Sharma opens brand-new avenues for political poetry in short bursts of incandescent rage, washing his hands of the burden of catering to, in Sean Bonney's words, "a small racist island" and writing, brilliantly, the truth.

This is a collection of thresholds along desire lines of otherhood; a prayer against the onslaught of capital's deracination of time itself; an incantation or spell cast out by turning the page into open space of streets populated by protest.
