Reflections of Truths (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781967771097)

Reflections of Truths, in the Life We Live is a poetry collection by Aatika Anwar Choudry - a Pakistani American author, educator, and mother whose verse moves between the personal and the universal, the intimate and the political. Drawing on four decades of lived experience, her poems explore grief and resilience, faith and freedom, justice and the human condition through a distinctly Muslim lens rooted in the orthodox tradition of the Qur'an and Sunnah. From meditations on loss and the nature of moonlight to unflinching poems about war, oppression, and the quiet strength of the hijab, Choudry's work invites readers to see the world with fresh eyes - and to find in its contradictions both sorrow and meaning. With a foreword by Ustadh Ibrahim Jaaber and an endorsement by Dr. Suzy S. Ismail, this debut collection marks the arrival of a distinctive and necessary voice in Muslim American literary life.
