Fireflies and Umbra by Tazeen Fatma

“Tazeen Fatma playfully brings to light unquestioned notions and habitual ways of seeing. Take for instance, the following single-line poem: ‘windsock wherever life takes me.’ We may like to think of ourselves as going with the proverbial “flow”, but something or other may still be rigidly holding us back. Her line, then, has us asking what is doing this. If Fatma’s poems do not pull the carpet out from under you, they may very well give it a tug.”
