A poem about the poet undefeated by the overbearing stereotypes. The story about mulberries, phulkaris and the loss of inheritance and heritage. Not to forget Urdu preventing the poet from abandoning her courtyards.
The Brown Anthology series is about historical, present and future Brown, without the need or prerequisite to explain, justify or create art to suit the perception of Brown. The first theme is language and it features poems, short stories, an essay and illustrations by South Asian writers and artists from India, Pakistan, the UK and the USA.
This is a declaration to push the boundaries of literature.
