We used to play soccer in the monsoon rains. Through my windows I can see acres of fields Lying in the ruins of the wind. The poems in City of Rivers--the first full-length collection from 23-year-old wunderkind Zubair Ahmed--are clear and cool as a glass of water. Grounded in his childhood in Bangladesh Ahmed's spare evocative poems cast a knowing eye on the wider world telling us what it's like to be displaced and replaced relocated and dislocated. His poems are suffused with a graceful mysterious pathos--and also with joy humor and longing--with the full range of human emotions. City of Rivers is a remarkable and precocious debut.
