I don't read a lot of poetry but I really liked this book. Some of the poems were not my cup of tea but a lot of them I really loved especially since the author has a unique voice and perspective as a queer muslim woman. The book itself is also really beautiful as the poems are presented alongside some illustrations which makes it feel a bit more special imo.

I picked this one up when searching for some contemporary poetry in B&N on a whim. The title and cover art drew me in, and I'm glad I found it.
Wonderfully written and at times heartbreaking poems on love, heritage, relationships, abuse, and war. Roísín documents her journey to overcoming lessons of self-hate and the aspects of her intersectionality.
