About this listen

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.

Sigh-heavies + embodied beauties

My intro into the work of this Poet came via her newsletter. Intrigued by her sharings, I wanted to see what mediums she played with in her words. And poetry for her is like a channeling of instinct and intuition. She embodies her nuances as a queer, Muslim female taking her paradigms into mortality questioning. Some of the poems were triggering, and I had to come back to or fast forward. Some truths felt beckoning and I stayed. Her narration makes you feel the intimacy you would when you pick up a poetry book + fund a cozy corner. Her voice creates that mood.
