No Place For Good

No Place For Good is my first published book. It is a compilation of my poetry from 2016-2021. The book was released on 20 June 2021.

This book features poetry that spans topics of society, religion and conflict, from the eyes of a child. With age, I have seen Kashmir evolve right in front of my eyes. This book has captured the few years of my life, as a child in Kashmir. For me, this book is a window to the past. Not only Kashmir's past but also mine. These poems were written by a young Abdullah, who is long gone. This book serves as a mirror to myself and Kashmir, from my old naive eyes.

Publication of this brought with it a title that would shape the rest of my life, Youngest English Poet in Kashmir (see Media Coverage: 1,2). I was 12 back then, and becoming the youngest english poet changed my life in many ways. I was applauded, my teachers were proud of me, my family was joyous and I was enjoying the time. And it also brought along the responsibility of what I write. It handed me over the expectations of people. With age, I have to evolve in my style. My only goal is to never disappoint. I am the youngest, but now I have to be the best. 

You can buy the book from Amazon Shopping.

Media coverage of the release was generous enough to leave me with memories. Memories that I will never forget. My X page holds the archives of the all the media coverage the book got. I will be uploading them here as well.
