About the Introducer
Imtiaz Dharker
Imtiaz Dharker is a poet, artist and filmmaker whose work spans continents and cultures. Born in Lahore and raised in Glasgow, she has been described as the ‘poet of displacement, identity and belonging’ – themes she explores with striking emotional clarity. Her poems are widely studied and performed, and she is as celebrated for her readings as she is for her words on the page.
In 2014, Dharker was awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry, and she is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. She became Chancellor of Newcastle University in 2020. Her collections include Purdah, Postcards from God, I Speak for the Devil, Leaving Fingerprints, Over the Moon and Luck is the Hook, often accompanied by her own ink drawings – visual counterparts to her spare, luminous verse.
Whether writing about grief or joy, the personal or the political, Dharker has an uncanny way of speaking directly to her reader.
