Crosstalk is a collection of poems written by Ithmam Hami and Md. Kausar Uddin Ahmed. The book has twenty-six poems in total. Thirteen are written by Ithmam and thirteen by Kausar. When placed side by side, their poems seem to talk to each other. Ithmam’s poems come from a place of fear, sadness, and reflection. Kausar’s poems reply with hope, reason, and peace. That is why they chose the name Crosstalk. Readers will find two different writing styles here. Ithmam’s words are soft and full of hidden meaning. Kausar writes in a more direct and simple way. But together, they create a smooth balance between feeling and thought. Anyone who enjoys honest and simple poetry will find comfort in this book.
