Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the poet and artist, Imtiaz Dharker.

Winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for her work, her life seems a perfect reflection of the inter-relatedness of The Commonwealth. Born in Pakistan she was no more than a few months old when the family packed up their belongings and flew four thousand miles to start a new life - exchanging the blistering, dusty lanes of Lahore for the blustery, rain-slicked roads of Glasgow.

Her father worked hard and, from scratch, built a big, successful business and a comfortable life for his children. But the immigrant fairytale came undone when his restless, well-educated, westernised daughter married in secret, running away to Bombay. Her parents disowned her and she would never see her mother again.

Her work centres on themes of freedom, cultural intolerance, everyday life and gender politics.



克尔斯蒂-杨本周的弃儿是诗人兼艺术家伊姆蒂亚兹-达克尔。

她的作品获得了女王金奖，她的生活似乎完美地反映了英联邦的相互关联性。她出生在巴基斯坦，还不到几个月，全家就收拾好行李，飞了四千英里，开始了新的生活--把拉合尔的炎热、尘土飞扬的小道换成了格拉斯哥狂风大作、雨水横流的道路。

她的父亲努力工作，从零开始，为他的孩子们建立了一个成功的大企业和舒适的生活。但是，当他那不安分的、受过良好教育的、西方化的女儿秘密结婚，跑到孟买时，这个移民童话故事就破灭了。她的父母不认她，她再也见不到她的母亲了。

她的作品以自由、文化不容忍、日常生活和性别政治为主题。
