Jazra Khaleed

The Light That Burns Us Jazra Khaleed

The English debut of one of Greece's most radical and original poetic voices.

...an explosive cadence... Khaleed's sentiment toward the would-be aesthetes seems clear: 'Fuck off, flower poets.'--David Wallace, The New Yorker

[Jazra Khaleed] stands up to fascism by writing and performing Greek-language poetry that is unmatched in technical bravura, emotional depth, and political urgency. He performs his poetry at a lightning clip -- so fast the Nazis can barely keep up, let alone talk back -- a hip-hop emcee in a fever.--Max Ritvo, LA Review of Books

...agitated and delirious and necessary.--Lotte L. S, Mute
