Editorial Reviews

Irshad Ullah Khan - just the name of itself, spells reams and dreams of the Orient, from the majesty of a Khan, memories of "my" North West Frontier Province and beyond into Afghanistan, through the noble alliteration of the name of God in Ullah to the very invite to the poet who has just walked, in the world, the say, the art of feeling, the recitation - Irshad Farmaye.
