Evocative and beautiful, Sarah Ghazal Ali’s <i>Theophanies</i> is full of rich and heady prose. Exploring themes of life, death, birth, sex, violence, womanhood, and faith, each poem and each line and each word is written with care and thought, and intention. Ali is unafraid to experiment, making bold and brilliant choices in style and phrase, leading to a unique and engaging reading experience. Each word had weight, like you could roll it around in your mouth. I was impressed with this work, and I can’t wait to read more prose from the author.
