How do you review a poem or a book of poems? I have no idea.
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 need a physical copy of this book! I am dying to annotate. It is so lyrical, eye opening, daring, daunting, and blunt in the best ways possible. It definitely touches on some serious subject matters, definitely look into trigger warnings but as far as it's structure and execution, top tier.
