Born in Chechnya in 1979, Khaleed is a poet who seems very Greek and not Greek at all; his language is sharp, refined, and controlled, with elegant rhythms and contemporary street speech that often has an undertow of a sophisticated language with moments of Byzantine and New Testament Greek. In his poetry there is a power, erudition, and control that Greek readers have trouble equating with a man named Jazra. The poems are always political, vehement, written at times from a very personal perspective, and at others from that of an objective outsider. It is a poetry that tears the untroubled reader back to a reality that may well be dangerous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turnaround","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58240028279158,"sku":"9781954218246","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/0970\/9115\/files\/71OLw_8HDfL._SL1323.jpg?v=1783590557","url":"https:\/\/travellingman.com\/products\/the-light-that-burns-us-2nd-edition","provider":"Travelling Man UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
