My search for a poetry collection that would deeply resonate with me and make me want to write my own poems has finally ended because damn did this collection make me weep and think.

// "My history gets in the way of your memory"

adored this one. 'the country without a post office', 'city of daughters' and 'ghazal' were my favourite pieces.

I have been thinking about Kashmir a lot and wanting to learn more about it.  This collection was a great way to start exploring.  There were so many poems that resonated with so much of the current mainstream news cycle as well.
