Glazed with War by @panteaamin.bsky.social is a searing poetry collection that gives voice to a child’s view of war; it’s intimate, unfiltered, and haunting. Her clarity, empathy, and truths are a vital counter to the noise of geopolitics. This is poetry that remembers, resists, and rehumanizes…
Excerpt from Glazed With War, by Pantea Amin Tofangchi: when is this war going to end I asked my dad never he whispered to himself so suddenly he turned toward me and kissed my forehead soon baba joon SOON —from The Prelude: My mahogany palace
