Kaiser Haq

The poet, translator and professor launches and reads from his latest work

Dhaka 2012, 
Published in the Streets of Dhaka: Collected Poems (UPL, 2012) by Kaiser Haq brings together the product of over four decades of involvement with the craft of writing verse.

The Woman Who Flew (Penguin India, 2012) is Kaiser Haq's translation of Urukku, a prize-winning Bangla novel by Nasreen Jahan, a leading Bangladeshi writer. It tells the story of the struggle of Nina, and the way her indomitable will faces up to gruelling social, material and psychological pressures, making this a valuable existential document of our times.
