Transformation has a cost. Whether it’s sacrificing your past self, walking away from a place that no longer feels like home, or giving up the uncertainty of the past for an unknown future, few are willing to pay it. Fatimah Asghar confronts their relationship with long-estranged kin, Allah, and homes that have exiled them in Daughter of the Mountains: poems of heartbreak & homecoming, their acclaimed and luminescent sophomore collection. Revelator is Ellie Black approaching the oracular as she blurs boundaries between high and low, reality and fantasy, digital and physical. Hieu Minh Nguyen meditates on the intimacies of his boyhood, grief, and the violence of fractured family dynamics in Staying Still.
