A review by snowmaiden
Tunsiya/Amrikiya by Leila Chatti

5.0

These are amazing poems of identity that straddle the gulf between two very different cultures. Chatti may be a young poet, but these are mature poems, crafted with much care, and they reward patient reading and rereading. I think my favorite poem in the collection is "Motherland," which you can read in its entirety here: http://therumpus.net/2017/01/the-rumpus-inaugural-poems-january-7-2017-leila-chatti/.
