In this first, full-length collection of provocative, lavish verse, the mystical Islamic poet Saba Syed Razvi draws contemporary currents of political concern and cultural identity through the sieve of inherited mythos and ecstatic awareness. The poems of In the Crocodile Gardens blossom out of the liminal moments in which familiar narratives begin to unravel, exploring the nature of transgression in emotionally contractual situations that have not retained their structural integrity.
