A monthly column where we publish unpopular opinions – because, well we have too many of those ourselves.
Poems that witness, accuse, mourn, and resist. Work rooted in body autonomy, ecofeminism, desire, grief, exile, and decolonial reclamation - from Adivasi verse to Urdu ghazal to prison writing.
