Laughter, Wit and Poetry of Ifti Nasim

With a loving introduction by his friend Dr. Azra Raza.
Ifti Nasim (1946 – July 22, 2011) was a gay Pakistani American poet. Having moved to the United States to escape persecution for his sexual orientation, he became known locally for establishing Sangat, an organization to support LGBT south-Asian youths, and internationally for publishing Narman, a poetry collection that was the first open expression of homosexual themes in the Urdu language. Nasim was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 1996. He dedicated five of his books to his best friend, Dr. Azra Raza.
