This is my first encounter with the poetry of Baha Zain or Baharuddin Zainal, and the experience has left in me a constructive feeling. In general, the verse (both in the original and translated version) is carefully created with a great sensitivity of lyricism, and the effect is a musicality that resonates in the mind long after one has read the poems. Occasionally, the lines have the quality of a ghazal, and this is especially the case in poems that address the beloved / lover, who is sometimes a woman, sometimes God. Baha's literary concerns are varied. Poetry communicates a wide range of concerns, from social and political injustice to love, religion, culture, nature, and civilization.The tone of what can be properly called his "protest" is always bold, direct, urban and honest: the voice of Baha does not turn meaningless even when it exudes sympathy for the dispossessed and disdain for its oppressors. The person is unequivocal in his condemnation of tyranny in all its forms - Agnes SK Yeow - Malaya University, Malaysia
