As the authors travel to villages to meet folk singers and lovers of Latif's poetry, immersing in sessions that stretch into the night, they unearth a unique, thriving love-soaked ethos in which the call to oneness rings out like a defiant manifesto for our divisive times. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetelling epics along with other tales and historical events that created the field of experience from which Shah Latif's poems sprang, \u003ci\u003eI Saw Myself\u003c\/i\u003e brings into English a selection of his finest poems. A spell is cast, of story and song, of metaphor and meaning.
