Book Synopsis The City That Is Leaving Forever by : Rahat Kurd
Book excerpt: "The City That Is Leaving Forever is a unique twenty-first-century time capsule: an instant-message exchange between Kashmir and British Columbia spanning more than five years in the lives of two women Kashmiri poets. As India's military carries out extrajudicial killings and imposes a lengthy curfew in Srinagar, the authors confide in each other, working through drafts of poems and discussing multilingual poetics and their contrasting daily lives. The result is a rigorously feminist record of thinking through trauma as it unfolds, 'a book like a cluster of thorns with some few fragrant petals caught in them.'"--
