Born in Multan in 1963, Musadiq Sanwal was a renaissance man of arts and letters and it is impossible to encapsulate the range of his activities and achievements in a brief space. A poet at mushairas during teenage, an artist by education, a musician by training, an applauded theatre director, a multi-media producer, a BBC web journalist and the founding editor of dawn.com, Musadiq Sanwal found creative expression through multiple channels. On being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013, he devoted himself to poetry as a way of meditating on death, and his first collection, “Kitab-e-muntashir: Ye natamam si ik zindagi jo guzri hai,” is to be published posthumously. He passed away in January 2014. To learn more about him and his work, please visit: www.musadiqsanwal.com
