Make a big star in your diary beside Monday 12 October, when the Poetry Doubles stage will be shared by Imtiaz Dharker and Hugh McMillan.
Imtiaz Dharker describes herself as a Scottish Muslim Calvinist, brought up in a Lahori household in Glasgow, working in Bombay. She is a poet, artist and documentary film-maker and all her books, Purdah, Postcards from god, I speak for the devil and The terrorist at my table, include her own drawings. She now lives between India, London and Wales.
Her work is inspired by themes of displacement and freedom, and her poetry is richly vivid, with striking imagery.
