War / Torn Paperback / softback
by Hasan Namir
Paperback / softback
Description
2020 Stonewall Book Award – Barbara Gittings Literature Award Honor BookLambda Literary Award-winner Hasan Namir';s debut collection of poetry, War / Torn, is a brazen and lyrical interrogation of religion and masculinity—the performance and sense of belonging they delineate and draw together.
Namir summons prayer, violence, and the sensuality of love, revisiting tenets of Islam and dictates of war to break the barriers between the profane and the sacred. Praise for War / Torn:"War / Torn mourns, loves and burns all the derogatory impulses of our continuous present.
This book is of and against our time. War / Torn is a breathless elegy in the most defiantly tender poetics you can imagine." —Jordan Scott, author of Night & Ox, and winner of the Latner Poetry Prize by the Writer's Trust of Canada"War / Torn reminds us of how dexterous and wholly embracing poetry can be.
In the hands of Hasan Namir, poetry spans from origin stories to the afterlife; it holds blessings and erotic provocations, fear and forgiveness, and tangled tangled love." —Amber Dawn, author of Sodom Road Exit
