For a brief period in the 1990s Khaled Hakim published sparingly and performed semi-improvisatory routines. His collection, Letters from the Takeaway , gathers all the work previously published. As the first—and for some time afterwards the only—black or Asian experimental poet in the UK, the work remains freakishly singular as he forged an occasional poetry that mixes narrative, theory, and stand-up. Khaled Hakim lives in London.
