About the Book:

A TENDER, SEARCHING COLLECTION THAT BREAKS OPEN NOTIONS OF FAITH TO ASK HOW A DAUGHTER, ALIENATED FROM KIN, CAN FIND LOVE AND A HOME IN THE WORLD, FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF IF THEY COME FOR US AND WHEN WE WERE SISTERS

at the edge of an edge

is an edge. at that edge

is a cliff. beyond that cliff

is me.

Exiled from ancestral homelands, how can one find a place for themself in the world? In this stunning sophomore collection, the acclaimed poet Fatimah Asghar unweaves residual grief to reckon with their relationship to Allah, long-estranged but deeply loved kin, the landscape of their ancestors, and love itself.

In meditative poems, Daughter of the Mountains grapples with multiple facets of fulfillment, betrayal, love, loss, and longing, illustrating how place, lineage, and environment inform the practice of spirituality and vice versa. With wisps of humor, imagery that is as beautiful as it is startling, and powerfully disruptive formal invention, this is an intimately lyrical and explosive collection.

FATIMAH ASGHAR, author of If They Come for Us, is a poet, filmmaker, educator, and performer. They are the writer and co-creator of Brown Girls, an Emmy-nominated web series that highlights friendships between women of color. They also were a co-producer on Ms. Marvel for Disney + and wrote the episode “Time And Again.” Along with Safia Elhillo, they are the editor of Halal If You Hear Me, an anthology that celebrates Muslim writers who are also women, queer, gender-nonconforming, and/or trans
