ridiculous redonkulos. there was three “okay” poems, but an embarrassment of a book Astagfirullah.

Very nice variety of styles of poetry that you get to glimpse because of the variety of poets and authors. A good reminder that there are so many realities for people and grouping and over generalizing can be dangerous.

As a Muslim American who has questions about my faith, my cultural background and my society, this book is an amazing reprieve. It feels like being welcomed by a form of Islam that I wish I had when I was younger. An Islam that welcomes queer, questioning, non heterosexual, non cis gendered bodies. It was very healing.

Solace for the invisible Muslim or the best writing workshop ever for young thinkers, Halal If You Hear Me is the third in the fantastic BreakBeat Poets series determined to put forth the sharpest, most modern writing from a breathtaking and diverse spectrum of talented intersectional brown and black writers.

This was my first Ramadan read and I'm so glad. I laughed and I cried and I learned so much.
