Abstract

Exploring new writers is a bound duty of a dedicated reader. Writers are warriors who fight their emotions and bring out the same through the sword of pen. Why do they do so? For whom are they writing? It is for the readers to experience the writers’ imagination, emotions, and life on the whole. They explore new ideas and thoughts in various styles. They indicate something new towards the truth. They fantasize more than they think it normal. Such writers are penning to win the hearts of readers. So it is the reader’s responsibility to curtail such writings to spread in the world. This paper tends to unveil the writings of Imtiaz Dharker by demonstrating her poems written creatively.
