Streams That Lead Somewhere

By Fareh Malik

Winner of the RBC/PEN Canada New Voices Award, 2022. Winner of the Hamilton Literary Award, Poetry, 2023. Longlisted for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award, 2023

Fareh Malik's debut collection aims to explore the intersection between mental illness and social racialization. The poet dives deep into his long history with Islamophobia, racism, and other forms of discrimination. The book focuses on perseverance and the silver lining that is ever on the horizon with the expectation that you can make it out of any trial or tribulation, if you just follow your dream to wherever it leads.

"Malik's candid poems unflinchingly investigate what is most problematic and upsetting in society while insisting that joy exists under all conditions."--Publishers Weekly
