If They Come for Us: Poems
by Fatimah Asghar
“he’s not my president but I live
in a country whose sun is war
we keep rotating around its warmth
our faces, sun-kissed, each & every morning”
I liked some of the poems, but a lot of them dragged on for me. Also the format was a bit messed up in some of them, but I will blame that on the e-book and not on the author. It felt like the poems were trying to tell a story but kept getting sidetracked. I don’t think I know enough about the author to understand all the poems - which I would never deem a good thing for poetry, for one should get to know the author through the poems. I did however learn a lot about the history between Pakistan and India which is always exciting.
