If They Come for Us Poems Fatimah Asghar Books

The book was first and foremost so enlightening. I learned so much about partition and plan to learn so much more. I heard Fatimah Asghar read at Split this Rock and have been excited to dive into the since then. The poetry is playful and gutteral, light and dark. It is breaking and healing all at the same time. I appreciate that she doesn't italicize anything which forces you to do your research and question the ease of understanding you take for granted as an English speaker. The book is an invitation into the experience of being "other" and traversing culture, never really being a part of either. Longing for home. "If They Come For Us" is an introduction to a great poet I can't wait to re-meet.

If They Come for Us Poems Fatimah Asghar Books Reviews

SO BEAUTIFUL
Loved every bit of it.
Love it!!!! Can’t recommend it enough
Beautiful book, for content it is great. However, the book’s cover had some clear, sticky substance lightly splattered over it which bummed me out.
I devoured these poems with such ferocity. I loved every single one of them. I highly recommend
If They Come for Us is a powerful poetry collection I'm pleased to have somehow ended up purchasing online. I'm currently teaching a creative writing workshop around the theme of Cloaks and using several poems from this book as an example (the head covering in this case being the cloak).
Beautifully written, funny and creative with forms (almost every poem tries something new, from mad lib style news stories to a screenplay about the author’s family fleeing Kashmir during Partition). If you’re any minority at all and even remotely interested in history or coming-of-age poems, you’ll enjoy this. I would recommend it to everyone since these are such important conversations which too few people have. Wow that sounds like a bot wrote it... this was just a really good book, okay?
