God at the Door

Tishani Doshi's Forward-shortlisted collection A God at the Door spans time and space, drawing on the extraordinary minutiae of nature and humanity to elevate the marginalised. Extending the territory of her zeitgeist collection Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods, these new poems traverse history, from the cosmic to the quotidian.

Reviews

May we always have the music and elegant fury of Tishani Doshi's poetry. -- Fatima Bhutto
I love the opulent poetry of Tishani Doshi. -- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie * New York Times *
This intelligent, elegant, unflinching collection. It's very much a collection for this moment in history, but one that will endure long past it. -- Kamila Shamsie * The Guardian (Best Summer Reads), on Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods *
The title poem is a haunting vision of retribution... Doshi's poem is exceptionally timely, although it was written before the rise of the #MeToo movement. It's impossible not to cheer the boldness and liberation enacted by much of this book, and to be stirred by its bravery. To paraphrase one interviewer, Doshi is writing the anthems of her generation. -- Sandeep Parmar * The Guardian, on Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods *
