In the Crocodile Gardens by Saba Syed Razvi, Saba Razvi
In the Crocodile Gardens is situated at the unraveling point of familiar storytelling threads. The poems bloom out of the dissolution of inherited tales, weaving in and out of the realms of lucid and prophetic dream, seeking the breathy threshold of a promise and the boundaries beyond which it cannot hold. The poems beckon deep image and duende sensation, linguistic chicanery and lexical sleight of hand. They ask the reader to consider the hagiography of the seeker, the trail of clues that make her a scavenger among the society of lore and lullaby and fantasy gone mirrorwise. These poems confront the nature of transgression, acceptance and failure, investigate the allure of mystical experience and the threat of emotional contract, questioning what can be contained within a promise without losing the self.
