Through a short series of lyric verse and prose poems, Al-Hashashin chronicles how the legendary Hashish Eaters militants filled their young recruits with religious fervour and intoxicants before sending them on suicide missions. Yusra Usmani reveals how closely akin the beauty of spiritual language is with its terrible power to enrapture and exploit: “One hand bible, one hand gun / Thy will be done, Thy will be done.” The Blasted Tree has produced a limited edition of fifty hand-bound chapbooks printed on linen paper and bound into ivory parchment cover stock.
