Nothing But Beauty
Nothing but Beauty
Author: Lovers of Imam Husain a.s.
Edited by: Saajida Rhemtulla
Published by: Young Light Books, Canada
► An anthology of Contemporary Poems about Karbala.
English-language poetry about the event of Karbala is not a new phenomenon. It has existed and been documented for centuries. The day of Ashura gave rise to lamentations and elegies about the tribulations of Imam Husayn a.s., his family and companions. The bereaved women were among the pioneers of such poetry, but it has since become one of the most predominant and prevalent forms of Shia literature. The current anthology, both Poems and Bedtime Stories, is a testament to this.
