ItemNo Preview AvailableTo Catch a Djinn: A ghazal for my Dadi and her sisters(Usawa Literary Review, 2020)This poem takes a family story originally told in Urdu and tells it in English, but as a ghazal. In this way the form reflects the relationship between narrator and story even though the language has been changed. The form, with its strict use of rhyme and rhythm, injects a playfulness to the narrative that reflects the age of the characters and the fantastical elements of the story. This is a new use of the ghazal, which is often a more serious, romantic form in English.

The poet is male and anxious about his creativity. there is a statue in his studio which is played by Lee Miller. the relationship between the poet and the statue and the role of a mouth and speaking/communicating is at the heart of this film. Generally the focus has been on the poet and Cocteau but I shifted the focus to the mouth and the statue. I note 'wounds of silence and speech bring forth the wish for both to be oriented and understood differently.' I conclude with a reference to Luce Irigaray and the importance of formulating new languages that do not 'reproduce the same story.'
