Praise


"Anis Mojgani is a gale force talent, a talent dervish of lyrics and the body's music, a poet who gleefully spurns the boundaries of poet...filling us with that inimitable voice when and wherever we need."

--Patricia Smith, author of Blood Dazzler


"...offers dreamlike eloquent strands of verse..."
