The Flame Of A Candle

Azad's debut YA fantasy is set in a city along the Silk Road that is a refuge for those of all faiths, where a young woman is threatened by the war between two clans of powerful djinn. Fatima lives in the city of Noor, a thriving stop along the Silk Road. There the music of myriad languages fills the air, and people of all faiths weave their lives together. However, the city bears scars of its recent past, when the chaotic tribe of Shayateen djinn slaughtered its entire population -- except for Fatima and two other humans. Now ruled by a new maharajah, Noor is protected from the Shayateen by the Ifrit, djinn of order and reason, and by their commander, Zulfikar.But when one of the most potent of the Ifrit dies, Fatima is changed in ways she cannot fathom, ways that scare even those who love her. Oud in hand, Fatima is drawn into the intrigues of the maharajah and his sister, the affairs of Zulfikar and the djinn, and the dangers of a magical battlefield.In this William C. Morris YA Debut Award finalist novel, Nafiza Azad weaves an immersive tale of magic and the importance of names; fiercely independent women; and, perhaps most importantly, the work for harmony within a city of a thousand cultures and cadences.

Excerpt from The Candle and the Flame: Poems Spiders, the mind is diverted from the poem to the form, and the artistic method defeats the artistic aim. In this book I have placed lines that rhyme under each other, wherever this was possible with out injuring the architectonic structure. I am per fectly willing to sacrifice logic to effectiveness in art. Poetry has its architecture as well as its music. The free stanza which I consistently em ploy permits Of the freedom of Whitman without sacrificing the tonal advantage of Poe. My artistic aim, declared years ago in the preface to Nineveh, has been and still is, to extend the borderland of poetry into the realm of music on the one side, into that of the intellect on the other.
