Living space - Dharker

• What is the context?

  • Slums of Mumbai - complete poverty yet human spirit
  • Originally from Pakistan yet brought up in Glasgow
  • A ,to if her poems cover displacement, home and journeys
• Nothing is flat or parallel
• Nails clutch at open seams
• Someone has squeezed a living space
• These eggs in a wire basket
• Slanted universe
• bright, thin walls of faith
