The Smell of Azadi

Moumita as a poet always responds with an ethical urgency to the conflagration of neocolonial wars and settler occupations across the globe. These poems have a heart that beats and eyes that see. An urgent read, as Moumita writes in one of her poems, "A poet in love is the only hope" and Moumita is ours. Congratulations on this new collection. - Ather Zia (Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Gender Studies, University of Northern Colorado)
