A powerful real world poetry collection about issues in Asia, from Afghanistan to India via Singapore. Asia is a huge area of the world and the problems and topics raised here are cutting edge and powerful. From the ongoing Philippine drug war to the Kashmir question, the work here is both memorable and soul searching. Everybody in Asia and further afield will find this book interesting and thought provoking.
Priya Verma illustrates the book with simple but powerful cartoon images. Think of the man stood in front of the tank in Tienanmen Square, you get the idea.
Everybody from President Putin to Premier Xi to the normal person in the street/field need to read this book. If only to bring awareness on the issues and broaden the solutions.
A welcome book on Asian issues that are global.
