Ashes in the Air

Ashes in the Air

Alizadeh finds grace, wit and fire in this latest volume of poetry which explores themes such as fatherhood and migration. It ranges from the Tehran of Alizadeh’s childhood to the Australian coast of his teenage years. From the opening poem’s hymn to mobility and renewal to the elegiac ending, Ashes in the Air sparks with wisdom and energy.

PRAISE FOR ASHES IN THE AIR

‘This intense and beautiful book follows the trace of air-borne ashes across the blinded worlds of the present. Alizadeh’s powers of technique ruffle the veils of thought and affect.’ Justin Clemens
