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 didnāt 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 Iām rating the life of the author.
All these poems felt so personal and vulnerable.

i particularly like the depiction of the struggles of being brown and muslim in america, and the double standards of religion and the patriarchy, w/ many lines being quite succinct yet ring true and striking. the casual infusion of violence into poems on the partition also drives home the ubiquity of it during the period.Ā
