really gorgeous poems that sit in discomfort and the silences of conflict and complacency.

I never know how to rate poetry books but this one was rich and unique. I met the poet at my university and enjoyed what she had to say. I particularly liked the juxtapositions between her poems recounting her firsthand experiences growing up in South Carolina and the poems about political violence on the Indian subcontinent, which are often presented to us as if the narrator of the poem experienced them firsthand as well. Some are hard to read, but worth it.
