Journeys is Shuja Nawaz’s travelogue that traces a complex of journeys across the globe. But wherever he goes, the pull of memory draws him towards Pakistan. He captures the sounds and sights of his homeland while viewing foreign lands through the lens of a native Punjabi. He attempts to revisit and revive many of the rhythms and rhymes of Punjabi poetry in English verse, using his experience with translations, including that of the Potohari verse of the late Baqi Siddiqui of Rawalpindi. This book is a celebration of Shuja Nawaz’s deep and strong emotional links with the land of his birth.
The first edition produced by Oxford in 1998 sold out and is now being revived as part of OUP Pakistan's digital library. This second edition has been produced by the author under his own imprint Fort Hill.
