Registers of Illuminated Villages: Poems

by Tarfia Faizullah

Book Overview

"Tarfia Faizullah is a poet of brave and unflinching vision." --Natasha Trethewey

Somebody is always singing. Songs
were not allowed. Mother said,
Dance and the bells will sing with you.
I slithered. Glass beneath my feet. I
locked the door. I did not
die. I shaved my head. Until the horns
I knew were there were visible.
Until the doorknob went silent.

--from "100 Bells"
