Orphaned as a child, Fatimah Asghar grapples with coming of age and navigating questions of sexuality and race without the guidance of a mother or father. These poems at once bear anguish, joy, vulnerability, and compassion, while also exploring the man facets of violence: how it persists within us, how it is inherited across generations, and how it manifests itself in our relationships. In experimental forms and language both lyrical and raw, Asghar seamlessly braids together marginalized people's histories with her own understanding of identity, place, and belonging." --|cFrom publisher's description. 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 American poetry|y21st century. 650 7 American poetry.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00807348 655 7 Poetry.|2lcgft 947 IMT 948 LTI 09-06-2018 948 MARS 994 C0|bBKL
