A dome does not have orientation unless it is toward the sky,’ Wani writes, and pointing her eyes to the sky, and with incredible vision, makes even the tiniest detail visible.” — \u003cstrong\u003eFatimah Asghar, author of If They Come for Us, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_3_Auth":"Fatimah Asghar, author of If They Come for Us","OtherText_Review_4":"\u003cp\u003e“I read Sanna Wani’s \u003cem\u003eMy Grief, the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e with a highlighter in my hand, and by the time I was done, it was nearly out of ink. I could not stop loving lines, wanting to be sure I remembered them always. They progress with such sureness into marvelous and unexpected directions: ‘God climbs so many trees. Religion is a ladder. We are meant to help Him down.’ Over and over, Wani practices the act of artful surrender to each poem’s strange, budding logic. That she can do so with such apparent ease is astonishing. That we get to witness the places her gorgeous poems take her is a profound gift.
