Wow. These poems could be incredibly difficult to read (trauma, violence) but I often found myself getting to the end of a poem and immediately re-reading it. This may be because I don't read a lot of poetry and sometimes needed two reads to understand the poem, but it was also because I savored the language and devices.

Really excellent stuff. Initially the range covered in each poem threw me off, but these show true mastery

I found the poems about Yemen and her father to be very evocative. Those about her own childhood in the US were much weaker.
