I don't read enough poetry to feel like I could give a decent review, so take my star rating with a grain of salt.
I liked many of the poems in this collection. The standouts to me were "Kal" "Partition, 1945: my grandfather steps off a train in Jammu & Kashmir" "How we left: Film Treatment" and "Other Body"

i particularly like the depiction of the struggles of being brown and muslim in america, and the double standards of religion and the patriarchy, w/ many lines being quite succinct yet ring true and striking. the casual infusion of violence into poems on the partition also drives home the ubiquity of it during the period.
