ABOUT THE BOOK 

Hussain draws impressively on his historical knowledge and deep roots in the Asian community and, sometimes with a humorous flourish, sometimes with a profoundly moving vision, contemplates past, childhood and tradition in Pakistan and confronts realities and identity in modern Britain.
Andy Willoughby, Teesside poet and editor with Ek Zuban.
 
Khadim Hussain's work carries all the ins and outs of Asian culture and heritage and will be read by all with a lot of interest. He is so much more than a local writer and is worthy of wide renown.
Hazrat Shah, Urdu poet and editor with Aaina and Tadeeb International.

In Walayat, the fabled land of
Streets paved with gold,
I pull loaded trolleys
Under neon lights.
