You Still Look the Same
You Still Look the Same | Farzana Doctor
1 post | 1 read
A moving collection of poetry about navigating mid-life, full of humour and wit, from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor This debut poetry collection from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor is both an intimate deep dive and a humorous glance at the tumultuous decade of her forties. Through crisp and vivid language, Doctor explores mid-life breakups and dating, female genital cutting, imprints of racism and misogyny, and the oddness of sex and love, and urges us to take a second look at the ways in which human relationships are never what we expect them to be.

4☆A tender and candid collection exploring midlife, relationships, loss, pain, grief, love and trauma.
Farzana Doctor's poems are overflowing with lived experience. I appreciated her voice, representing midlife. These poems are confessional by nature, the sheer messiness of life and living through it. Of heartaches, of pain, of violence to the body, of truths and of love. Enjoyed this one! #canlit #bookreview
