This is an excellent and challenging collection from Asiya Wadud. Drawing its title from a quote from Congolese dancer and choreographer Faustin Linyelula, Wadud explores the diasporic experience, with particular attention to the physical experience of the body. Bodies of water, coastlines, and other settings of transition frequently form a backdrop. “the order was in the hour of worship,” which opens the collection, and the later “attention as a form of ethics,” in particular, are breathtakingly powerful.

Slow-moving, graceful. Like a crane in the sky.
