from a poisonous one.
just in case, I hear her say, just in case. From a co-creator of the Emmy-nominated web series Brown Girls comes an imaginative, soulful debut poetry that collection captures the experiences of being a young Pakistani Muslim woman in contemporary America. Orphaned as a child, Fatimah Asghar grapples with coming of age and navigating questions of sexuality and race without the guidance of a mother or father. These poems at once bear anguish, joy, vulnerability, and compassion, while also exploring the many facets of violence: how it persists within us, how it is inherited across generations, and how it manifests itself in our relationships. In experimental forms and language both lyrical and raw, Asghar seamlessly braids together marginalized people's histories with her own understanding of identity, place, and belonging. Praise for If They Come for Us "In forms both traditional . . . and unorthodox . . . Asghar interrogates divisions along lines of nationality, age, and gender, illuminating the forces by which identity is fixed or flexible. Most vivid and revelatory are pieces such as 'Boy, ' whose perspicacious turns and irreverent idiom conjure the rich, jagged textures of a childhood shadowed by loss."--The New Yorker " Asghar's] debut poetry collection cemented her status as one of the city's greatest present-day poets. . . . A stunning work of art that tackles place, race, sexuality and violence. These poems--both personal and historical, both celebratory and aggrieved--are unquestionably powerful in a way that would doubtless make both Gwendolyn Brooks and Harriet Monroe proud."--Chicago Review of Books "Taut lines, vivid language, and searing images range cover to cover. . . . Inventive, sad, gripping, and beautiful."--Library Journal (starred review)

Recommend this it’s awesome !!!
It’s awesome and it works great. The old one I had from Walmart kept getting clogged. It wouldn’t work right this one has yet to get clogged. It holds two of my sponges that I was hoping it would hold a lot easier to maintain and clean, and the pocket was able to hold both of my scrub daddies.

Just what I was looking for
I’ve been using this for a while now and I’m glad I chose this one. The pump action is great to keep filled for easy use. I have 2 sponges on it and on the right side I keep a bottle brush as well as a squeeze bottle of dawn. It is a really good size! Good value and very functional for my needs.

Good enough
This item does the job but if you place wet items into the pocket, it will leak that water out the bottom, leaving your counter top wet. Otherwise, it works fine.
