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"

Nevertheless I still learned a lot about the Partition of India and all the struggles Someone had to go through. It was emotional and I now I know some more traditions and terms.
But I didn’t vibe with the poetry. It was okay but not breathtaking.
And as previously said I feel bad for rating this book because I feel like I’m rating the life of the author.
All these poems felt so personal and vulnerable.
Moderate: Bullying, Racism, Violence, and Sexual violence
