''The Diwan of Nawid is like nothing else in Australian poetry - a spiritual text of sublime beauty in which we follow the struggles, questionings, and exhortations of Nawid, a character you will come to love for the way in which he lays before us his intense search for inviolable truths. Nawid is an 'everyman' but with one remarkable difference - he is a first-rate poet whose work contains the devotion and open-minded sagacity of a modern-day Kabir.' - Judith Beveridge
''Sometimes a new voice springs from a poet. It's not quite the poet's own (although it is), and it's not quite another's voice (although it is). The Diwan of Nawid is a memorable collection of poems in such a voice: tender, witty, puzzled, consoling. It is unique in Australian poetry.' - Kevin Hart' (Publication summary)
