Akanksha's Post

I sat with this book for a long time before i felt ready to put my thoughts into words. Mohalabia by Sadiya Abdunasir is not an easy read. it was never meant to be. But it is one of the most important things i have held in my hands in a very long time. And i think you need to know it exists. And then the poetry begins. I don't have the right words for what happens inside these pages. I'm not sure anyone does. But i will try. Abdunasir writes with a quietness that is somehow louder than screaming -and that quietness is what undoes you completely. she looks through the eyes of children. Not through statistics ,not through political language , not through the comfortable distance of analysis. Through children- a child who is hungry, a child who is afraid of a sound they have learned to recognise too well, a child who remembers what their home smelled like, a child who still, somehow, in the middle of everything - plays. I found myself reading certain poems twice. three times. sitting in silence afterward with no idea what to do with what i was feeling. that specific helplessness - where you feel too much and can do too little - lived in my chest for days after i finished this book Read gently. feel everything. and then remember - because remembering is the least and the most we can do.
