In this astounding debut, Solmaz Sharif assembles her family's and
her own fragmented narratives in the aftermath of warfare. These
poems point to the ways violence is conducted against our language.
Throughout this book are words and phrases lifted from the
Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms;
their seamless inclusion exposes the euphemisms deployed to
sterilize and control language. But Sharif refuses to accept this
as given, and turns it on its perpetrators: 'Let it matter what we
call a thing,' she writes.
