Description
This debut collection by Sanah Ahsan is a tender meditation on queerness and Islam, exploring the boundaries of love and faith. With intricate weaving of Quranic verse, psychology, and hip-hop, Ahsan's poems reach for divinity in the body, refusing erasure.
Through innovative and deeply compassionate verse, Ahsan calls poetry into prayer, evoking a faith safe enough to be mothered by. This is a remarkable and transformative collection that guides us through the complexities of just being.
With a want and restlessness that remakes the "You" of desire and faith again and again, Ahsan's poems are alive with a sense of longing and liberation. A daring debut collection that will leave a lasting impression.
