"Taher Adels' book 'I Don't Know What Language I Dream In' illustrates the subtle moments where someone may realise that a part of their identity has been lost. And like a man losing his existence by degrees is trying to write it all down before the hourglass runs out. Taher Adels' poems feel urgent and important not just for those losing their identity but for all who need reminding of who they are. A fine debut get it." - Roger Robinson (Winner of T.S Eliot Prize 2019)
