This book contains twenty wonderful and unique poems. In addition, the style is unique and extraordinary. It deserves to be mentioned that the very word 'kurine' has been coined by me. It is a combination of two words i.e. Bangla word 'kuri' [transliterated version] and 'ne' from the English word 'line'. Indeed, I would be extremely delighted if my poems are able to move at least a few hearts around the world!

Tahrir Suite is a book-length poem that contemplates immigration, homeland, and diaspora in the twenty-first century. The poem, inspired by recent events in Egypt, cycles through the journey of two Egyptians moving across borders, languages, cultures, landscapes, and political systems while their life in the U.S. diaspora evolves and their home country undergoes revolutionary change. Written from a perspective and about a place that is virtually unexplored in contemporary American poetry, Tahrir Suite works to capture the complicated essence of what it means to be from a specific place that is experiencing such radical change and how our understandings of “home” and “place” constantly evolve. Tahrir Suite is a musical meditation on what it means to be a global citizen in contemporary times.
