Bøker av Samiya Bashir

I Hope This Helps bends genre to engage poetry and poetics across both form and format, untangling epidemics of loneliness, isolation, and crises of mental wellness.As cultural fractures cross multiple axes, these poems seek to act as a balm, reaching out directly to acknowledge our experiences both collective and uniquely individual. Here poetry lives as music and film, as image and movement across fields both cosmic and poetic. Bashir grapples with personal and structural expressions of racialized violence with her signature wit and charisma across these tight, cutting poems of love, loss, travel, and belonging.
