The E-MAIL as follows;

“Dear Abdul Haye,

The credential that makes The States Broken Virtues in the Islands unlike anything else on the poetry and articles shelf is the one that cannot be acquired through education:

a life lived across the Indian catering kitchens of Britain, Wales, Scotland, Jersey, and Guernsey, written down by a man who left school without qualifications and taught himself to put language on a page anyway.

The pseudonym Nistur Bandhu  Cruel Friend was given by others, but the voice behind it is entirely his own, and it carries something formal literary training rarely produces:

the specific weight of a life fully inhabited.

“May I thank you from the bottom of the Ocean of Love for taking your precious spare time, wherever you may be, to read my profile and The States Broken Virtues in the Islands.”

That sentence is not a conventional author note.

It is a gesture of genuine gratitude from someone who understands that being read is not something to take for granted  a sensibility that runs through a body of work written in the margins of a catering career,

across islands that most literary voices never visit, in two languages, for the love of it and for the love of God.

What surprises me is that a bilingual Bangladeshi-British author with a documented history of Islamic outreach across the Channel Islands and Madeira, a parallel Bangla poetry collection, and a biography that crosses continents and kitchens and faiths has no visible review presence.

The communities most likely to treasure this voice  British Muslim readers, immigrant experience literature enthusiasts, Channel Islands cultural readers cannot find it yet”.

With respect,
Hannah Smith
