Inhaltsangabe

"I am a muslim not a terrorist" is Azad Ashim Sharma's opening gambit in Against the Frame. The book's geography is vast; encompassing Meccan sands, the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and Barking, East London. Sharma opens brand-new avenues for political poetry in short bursts of incandescent rage, washing his hands of the burden of catering to, in Sean Bonney's words, "a small racist island" and writing, brilliantly, the truth.
