Investigative Poetry & Other Poems

by Khurshid Alam

Overview

A good number of poems in this anthology have appeared in journals and anthologies. However some of the pieces appear here uniquely. The poems are categorized in two sections Section I: Investigative Poetry and Section II: Other Poems. Section I includes the poems of investigative poetry genre. This is a new genre and has been introduced in Foreword in details.

Investigative poetry is history in verse with investigative tinge and so it can also be called history poesy. Investigative poetry explores the reality of the conscious mind working behind the truth of the “representative history”. It is different from investigative journalism in the way that it is simply not limited to exploring a truth but shaking a man to the bone. In investigative journalism the primary purpose is to detect a truth in as simple ways as possible. While investigative poetry explores the truth with a mix of literary approach so it can reach to the majority and can make the people believe it.
