Mt. Pleasant Reads | If They Come for Us

Come read with us!

For National Poetry Month we'll be discussing the If They Come for Us by Fatimah Asghar. In this debut volume of poetry Asghar captures the experience of being a young Pakistani Muslim woman in America, delving into race and sexuality, violence, and orphanhood.
