Karachi, January 01, 2022 (PPI-OT):Ms. Fatima Ijaz, Visiting Faculty, Department of Social Sciences and Liberal Arts, School of Economics and Social Sciences, has published her poetry collection in a book titled, ‘The Shade of Longing and Other Poems’. The book is available as a printed edition and an e-book. The book is published by The Little Book Company Pakistan.

The Shade of Longing and Other Poems is a collection of poems that are personal keepsakes for eras, people and places that no longer exist. The book is intended as a portal to enter these otherwise lost worlds. The collection traces the journey from one memory book to another, reaching a state of not-there, not-here, to losing faith, to finally reaching a sense of closure. On the way there are musings, detours, some games of solitaire.
