Irteqa Khan, rēza rēza
From Saskatoon-based poet Irteqa Khan comes this stunning debut. In rēza rēza, Khan investigates the profound fragmentation and re-membering that rests at the core of her identity. rēza rēza means both “shattering” and “rebirth” in Urdu, and in her delicate linguistic and spatial experimentions, Khan signals the symbiotic destruction and reclamation that calibrates our ever-evolving process of selving.
This chapbook is printed on white paper with cardstock cover. Lovingly designed and typeset by Kate Siklosi.
