    About this ebook

    I like
    the way good food and diction go together so clearly. Geographically [these
    poems] excel, and in so many other directions too. The poems are different to
    what one normally gets in English, the issues far bigger, as in "Dhimmi
    Under Sharia Law" (A Lawyer's Poem) and in many others that one may
    benefit from. Such excellent poems show how different customs can
    nevertheless blend, especially in, "We Speak English Now." I also
    very much like, "That I May Know You:" "Let me visit your
    houise/and eat something/of what is on your table/hear you and know/some of
    your language."' — Alan Sillitoe

      Belonging In The Body

      Oct 31, 2018

      The lawns were crusted in silver frost when my mother and I left the house to go power-walking at five in the morning. We crunched across people’s front lawns, leaving footprints upon the grass. She walked hard and fast, as if using her body to smash
