Poetry Potluck II (ft. Fatimah Asghar & Vivek Shraya)




AAWW Radio: New Asian American Writers & Literature show

Summary: In Poetry Potluck 2, we have Vivek Shraya and Fatimah Asghar, who read from their poetry books I’m Afraid of Men and If They Come For Us. Vanity Fair writes, “Shraya’s dispatches from the frontlines of life as a queer, trans woman of color are frequently illuminating and painfully honest.” If They Come For Us is Fatimah Asghar’s debut poetry collection, where she captures her experience as a Pakistani Muslim woman in contemporary America, exploring identity, inheritance, and healing.
