Subodh lal’s book is a fine tribute to Fahmida Riaz and her revolutionary spirit.
- Shabana Azmi

This book on the revolutionary poetess, Fahmida Riaz (1946 – 2018) is the first of its kind: covering various aspects of the poetess’s life, her missions and, of course, poetry. Powerful and truly representative Nazms of Riaz find a prominent space in the book. Translation of poetry across two very different cultures is a daunting task. Subodh Lal has taken on the challenge with great success - making the book a befitting tribute to an internationally respected poetess.
