- W2340731621 abstract "Kishwar Naheed, as all her biographers note, was born in 1940 in Bulandshahr, India. As her family moved to Pakistan at the partition of the sub-continent, the bloodshed at that time left an impression on her at a tender age; she has also been witness to the struggles and aspirations that Pakistan has gone through as a nation. Her written work, spanning for more than four decades, chronicles her experiences as a woman writer engaged in the creative and civic arenas, even as she has dealt with personal, social, and official backlashes. Her stature as the matriarch of Urdu poetry is lodged in her prolificacy as a writer, her reworking of the lyrical ghazal, the innovations she helped bring about in the forms of free verse and prose poetry, and the extensive translations she has made of radical poets from other languages. Kishwar Naheed’s poetic oeuvre consists of ten volumes of poetry, where her voice has grown “louder, more insistent and somehow more intimate” (Steele 343). She won the Adamjee Prize of Literature for her first collection, Lab-e-Goya / Lips that Speak in 1969, the Best Translation Award from Columbia University, the UNESCO Prize for Children’s Literature for her series of children’s stories, the Mandela Prize in 1997, and the award of Sitara-e-Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan in 2000. She regularly writes columns for the daily Jang newspaper on current issues of political, social, and literary importance, which were collected in Warq Warq Aaina / Leaves of Reflections. Besides her numerous activities of attending national and international symposia, she can be found busy penning poems and columns in the office of her NGO ‘Hawwa,’ which she runs in Islamabad to help rural women become financially independent through cottage industries and handicrafts. Her first memoir, Buri Aurat ki Katha, has just been translated by Durdana Soomro as A Bad Woman’s Story. The poem, “Rab se Shart-nama / Contract with the Lord,” (added as a supplementary file to the online version of this interview) is being reprinted with the poet’s permission from Wehshat aur Barood men Lipti hui Shairi / Poetry Bound in Desolation and Dynamite, also published this year. I conducted this interview with Kishwar Naheed over the course of a few months through email. Our correspondence progressed as the situation in Pakistan changed. In her succinct responses, she elucidated her views on the venture" @default.
