SAIRA VIOLA

Saira Viola is a critically acclaimed poet , song lyricist, fiction writer, siren and maelstrom of sonic scatterscript.

Hailing from the periphery of empires, Viola focuses on the lives of the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the collaterally damaged, and the rebel spirits who refuse to lie back and think of England, or America for that matter. With a sharp eye for social foibles and political nightmares, and a sharp tongue to match, Viola treats us to vivid scenes of the decline of the West that are as innovative as this year's iPhone and yet as classical as Petronius.

and legendary king of verse , Heathcote Williams Multi Award winning ,best selling poet , playwright , dramatist and actor says of her writing :
“...... Saira Viola, has devised some new designer drug that keeps you reading. The language is so powerfully hypnotic and occasionally so explosive you feel you need to pause to apply burn cream (and it is acidly funny). I exaggerate? No.”
From her early poetic experimentation with language, image, and sound a technique she has dubbed Sonic Scatterscript to her novelistic ventures into the dark , absurd world of contemporary crime fiction ,Viola’s work pulses with an iconoclastic brio that mischievously blasts the golden calves of our times be they literary or political .
