OCTOBERS traces the four great tumults of the author's life, all of which originated in that jagged month of different years: The US invasion and occupation of her native Afghanistan, the death of her father, the sudden end of a love, and the birth of her daughter. The poems chart heartbreak along a helix, progressively and recursively, where echoes are inevitable. Ultimately, the collection is concerned with language--as witness and buoy in the white waters of loss, as a tool for violences small and state-crafted, as an asymptote both approaching ideas of home and estranged from it, and, beyond it all and still, as a source of wild wonder.
