A poetry compilation recounting a woman's journey from
self-loathing to self-acceptance, confusion to clarity, and bitterness
to forgiveness
Following in the footsteps of such category killers as Milk and Honey and Whiskey Words & a Shovel I,
Fariha Róisín's poetry book is a collection of her thoughts as a
young, queer, Muslim femme navigating the difficulties of her
intersectionality. Simultaneously, this compilation unpacks the
contentious relationship that exists between Róisín and her mother,
her platonic and romantic heartbreaks, and the cognitive dissonance felt
as a result of being so divided among her broad spectrum of identities.
