Conscience & Society

Little Sister
Some words for Nasreen

Words are the currency of the academic life,
Words carefully crafted,
And endlessly redrafted.
Yet when I want to talk about you,
About your life, your death, our loss,
I am lost for words.

In Memoriam

When a friend called me the other night to inform me the fatal accident of Nasreen Haque I was dismayed.
