SIN (Chestnut Review Chapbooks)

By Javeria Hasnain

SIN is a collection of poems reckoning with femininity, desire, and transgression. It moves between the poetic and narrative "I" to detail what it means to desire, to sin towards that desire, and to belong to a lineage. It mentions the Quranic women--Eve, Maryam, Hagar--to invoke a matrilineage, as well as, Medusa from the Greek myth, to understand how women exist in relation to each other, and to the speaker. SIN is an attempt at grappling with oneself, which inevitably leads towards, grappling with god.
