Zain Rishi – författare

Two brothers wrestle, a bird lies in a young boy’s hand, an entire field lives within the eye of a needle.Noon is a sparkling debut from Birmingham-born poet Zain Rishi, exploring home, family and faith.From the heat of the school relay and his grandmother’s Kashmiri chai to the images of a young man kissing a city goodbye, these poems chart a coming-of-age journey across place, sexuality and family ties.Rich in its interrogation of language and inheritance across generations, Noon announces Zain Rishi as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.
