meri pehli kitaab Theophanies iss mahiney sale per hai. agar aapne abhi tak nahin kharida, aaj faida uthaye 🤍

THEOPHANIES by @caesarah_ is on sale in celebration of #NationalPoetryMonth! This “fearless and tender” collection (Ocean Vuong) sold out almost immediately upon its January release. Get yours for just $15 at bit.ly/THEOPHANIES 💛
I’ll admit I put Theophanies in my cart because of the front cover
& then I saw that Ocean Vuong blurbed it
& then I dug into Ali’s Sarai poems & ghazals, & saw that Ali is gracing us with deeply spiritual personal artful work
So so good 🥹🤯👊🏽
