if i made an altar of books that are guiding lights, this would be on it. the innovativeness with form and concept and consideration creatively interrogates beautiful questions about existence and community and freedom and distraction and self love and so much more. the agility that is shown from word to word, line to line left me in awe time and time again. her refinement and expansion of the form “the arabic” was such a pleasure, and a practice in expanding perspective and entry points of consideration, a practice in focus and intentionality. i am deeply grateful to have read, to be able to read again, and to know that more is coming.

read for class. I’m definitely left a little confused by some of the poems, and I’m excited to discuss them further in class. I loved the innovative form and use of language in this collection.
