This is one of the first books in any language on the life and work of Miraji (1912-1949), one of the major canonical Urdu poets of the 20th century. Presenting close readings of some of Miraji's most compelling and challenging poems, the author reconceives the relationships among nationalism, gender, and sexuality in Indian life.
