Default Carol Rumens' Poem of the Week blog at The Guardian

I'm thrilled to report that Carol Rumens selected a poem from my book to feature on her 'Poem of the Week' blog at The Guardian, along with her usual commentary. It's a real honor to have such a learned & discerning critic comment on the poem in such depth. Here's the link.

Thanks,
Nausheen

How delightful to get such close and detailed attention to the different aspects of the poem! Congratulations. It well repays the poem's focus.

Wow. Congratulations, Nausheen!

This happened to me once...then I woke up.

What a clever and original poem and what an honour.

Thanks so much for taking a look and for the kind words, Susan, Walter, John, Nick, and Mark. It really is an honor, and I still can't quite believe it myself. I've sent out scores of review copies, so it's a combination of persistence and luck that some of them have borne fruit -- for which I'm very grateful.

Thanks again,
Nausheen

Nausheen,

The poem itself is brilliant on so many levels, and it’s a thrill to read this careful analysis of it, and of course the attention is very much deserved. May you be showered with more of these reviews and responses to your wonderful and very unique collection.

Kudos & lots of daybreak rising,
Siham
