'I savored this. Omar Musa is a special writer with his own beat, cutting through worlds.' - Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist. 'Parang is as brutal as it is delicate, poems romp between the urban landscape and foreign humidities ...I love these poems, they are a clarion call to the listless, to take up the parang, or the pen, the instrument or the book and make something happen. A balm for the conflicted, Musa is a rhapsodist like no other.' - Tara June Winch, author of Swallow the Air. 'Never mind page versus stage, this is poetry: listen.' - Jeet Thayil, author of Narcopolis
