Dilruba Ahmed's Dhaka Dust won the 2010 Bakeless Literary Prize awarded by the Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference. Sensuous language, indelible images, glimpses of transcendence—all these are put to brilliant use in poems of memory, motherhood, the globalized world, and the intimate struggle to feel at home in it. For more information about the author, including poems, biography, events, media, and contact information, please visit Dilruba Ahmed's website. |
