Noor Hindi

What is political poetry? How does history become lived experience? What does it mean to bear witness through writing?

Noor Hindi’s poems explore colonialism, religion, patriarchy and everything in between with sharp wit and innovative precision. Layered to reflect the intersections of her identity, while constantly interrogating this identity itself, her writing combines lyrical beauty with political urgency.

This collection is ultimately a provocation―on trauma, on art, on what it takes to change the world.

Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Yellow

Sabrina D. 

You pleasure that which makes us fiction // while staring // into our graved eyes.

My desire to make this argument is rooted in America’s desire to erase me. 

Who is the audience for my argument, exactly?

Yesterday, my father saved three plump figs in the fridge for me. 

Today, I will eat them while standing in our kitchen, my shadow dancing on the walls, my body warm—like sunlight.
