Alamgir Aurangzeb Hashmi [a] (born 15 November 1951) is an English language poet and writer of Pakistani origin. [1]

Contents

Considered avant-garde, his early and later works were published to considerable critical acclaim. He is widely published in the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. [2] [3] [4]

Career

He was a practicing transnational humanist and educator in North American, European and Asian universities. [3] [5] He has argued for a "comparative" aesthetic to foster humane cultural norms. He showed and advocated new paths of reading the classical and modern texts and emphasized the sublime nature, position and pleasures of language arts to be shared, rejecting their reduction to social or professional utilities. He has produced many books of seminal literary and critical importance as well as series of lectures and essays (such as "Modern Letters") in the general press. [6] [7]

Hashmi earned an M.A. degree at the University of the Punjab, Lahore (1972) and another M.A. degree at the University of Louisville, Kentucky (1977). [4]
