Bridging the Gap

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

My grandmother’s name is Raj Kumari, which means “princess” in English. She has always been in my life and is part of my earliest memories. As a child, I had a habit of stealing butter and ghee from the kitchen, hiding under the table and eating it. My grandmother would walk in; see me eating butter out of the container, smile and say: “You look like Lord Krishna!” Hands down, she’s the best cook in my entire family, and because of her...

What’s Your Name

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

Order Irene’s new collection, the galaxy of origins. Scroll down for audio. what’s your name the heavy chimes clot the hours in the air and my blood asks, do bones carry future memories in their marrows? waiting for a face that is a mirror, I turn the page of a tome that lists only my name my name my name. tonight each cicada sings its name, the only one it knows, and when I stepped out the door this morning...

Mom’s Christmas, Our Ramadan

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

I grew up in Chicago, the daughter of a conservative Pakistani Pathan Muslim and a small-town American Mormon. Theirs was a marriage founded on somewhat foolish optimism. Both of my parents assumed they would have the other converted to their own faith within months. My childhood memories of mom’s Christmases, our Eids, mom’s Easters and our Ramadans, serve as a testament to the contrary. This recollection comes from the strange serendipitous period where two of those major religious events –... Read more

The Heart’s Prosthesis

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

You were different. I don’t know if I ever told you that, but there it is. For you, I broke every self-imposed rule I’d ever created. They say the best kind of love is the one you never see coming, the kind that sneaks up on you so slowly that by the time you feel its presence, it has already burrowed deep inside the caverns of your heart that you didn’t even know existed. You were a surprise, a calamity... Read more
