Description
Fatimah Asghar's powerful poetry collection explores identity, violence, and healing through her experiences as a Pakistani Muslim woman in contemporary America. Orphaned at a young age, Asghar grapples with coming of age and navigating questions of sexuality and race without the guidance of a mother or father. These poems convey anguish, joy, vulnerability, and compassion, while also examining the persistence of violence within us, its inheritance across generations, and its manifestation in relationships. Asghar's experimental forms and language blend lyrical and raw elements to weave together marginalized people's histories with her own understanding of identity, place, and belonging.
