Constructing imaginative space in poetry works  towards comprehending society and self. It  challenges scientific empirical dialectics which  interpret ‘space' as divorced from human existence.  This book explores the dynamics of spatial  construction by Alamgir Hashmi, a Pakistani poet  writing in English. He employs three major spatial  constructs: frames, ekphrasis and the palimpsest.  Structural frames such as windows, doors and  photographs re-present public and private spaces.  Mythical, literary and religious frames of  reference effect an intrusion into existing  narrative spaces, and reframe, contest and  appropriate them. Ekphrasis is used to give voice  to silent works of art. Hashmi also attempts a  palimpsest reading of seasonal and catastrophic  erasure, writing and rewriting on landscape and the  ecriture of conquest on the Indo Pak Subcontinent.  He reads bicultural layers of memory inscribed by  western experience to show the impact of cross  cultural trends on the oriental consciousness. This  analysis would help professionals in the areas of  critical theory, literature and history who  acknowledge the paradox that reality is best  apprehended through illusion.
