Bringing two literary contexts-Urdu and English-together, "The Walled City" bridges the divide between two separate cultures in an attempt to express a multinational identity. It brings forth poetic expressions that find their roots in disappearing traditions, but innovates them for a modern context. The most striking of forms in this book is the ghazal, an import from the Indian subcontinent.

Autorenporträt
Syed Haider Ali is a Pakistani-Canadian poet that hails from Ottawa, Canada and studies English literature at McGill University. Drawn to poetry initially by the lyricism of the classic Urdu ghazals, as well as the giants of English poetry, Haider has sought to negotiate a Pakistani background with an anglophone context. At the same time, he makes an effort to respect and reimagine traditional poetic structures from both English and Urdu.
