Description

“Amir Rabiyah is a magician who has tasted salt of the creation story’s sea. The cleaving of human to spirit found in Prayers for My 17th Chromosome is a blood tangle that will kiss your cells till you sweat / constellations. Rabiyah reminds their reader that to exist in between boxes of national belongings, migrations, queer kinships, and disability is not to swallow war. Rather, in these verses, complications find respite in one another, [becoming] the endless, / the source, / the horizon / awakening.” – Rajiv Mohabir, author of The Cowherd’s Son and The Taxidermist’s Cut
