In Customs, Solmaz Sharif examines what it means to exist in the nowhere of the arrivals terminal, a continual series of checkpoints, officers, searches, and questionings that become a relentless experience of America. With resignation and austerity, these poems trace a pointed indoctrination to the customs of the nation-state and the English language, and the realities they impose upon the imagination, the paces they put us through. While Sharif critiques the culture of performed social skills and poetry itself-its foreclosures, affects, successes-she begins to write her way out to the other side of acceptability and toward freedom.

Customs is a brilliant, excoriating new collection by a poet whose unfolding works are among the groundbreaking literature of our time.

Recenzii

Witty and incisive. [Sharif] masterfully traverses the landscape of exile and all its complicated grief
This collection, while shaking an elegant fist at "the wide hallways / of a great endowment", is a useful dispatch from within such rooms
Striking
A thought provoking and enjoyable read
Sharif gives us a poetry (and a person) caught at the adjunct between two possibilities, the border at which ambiguity (that most faithful repository for poets through the ages) can be weaponised. But it is the beauty of Customs that, in standing at this boundary, we can catch the light beyond
I really love ... Solmaz Sharif's Customs. I love the book's precision and truthfulness and find I continue to turn to it for something like help
Sharif masterfully blends, develops, and transforms her imagery throughout Customs in such a seamless and unexpected way that the reader effortlessly follows these gorgeous, golden, and intelligent threads all the way to the brink of epiphany and beyond
Rooted in unrootedness; migration, borders and displacement are all themes in Sharif's poems. This book asks us to consider how powerful language can be, and to use it carefully
As she masterfully traverses the landscape of exile and all its complicated grief, Sharif manages, with conviction and consistency, to make the reader feel welcome
The ostensible clarity of borders and checkpoints gives way to a terrain of fundamental uncertainty, a geography of elusive thresholds
Dazzling . . . Sharif's language is spare and all the more sharp for what remains, for all that she has left out, as the sculptor does with a slab of marble. . . . This is poetry - this is a poet - that marvels us in manners minute and majestic
Blistering in its clear-sightedness, this collection offers a fierce, beautiful closing that dares to imagine 'a beckoning, a way.' A bold and uncompromising book with virtuosic emotional range; highly recommended
Sharif's commanding voice reverberates throughout this complex and confident collection
Sharif demonstrates remarkable talent in her ability to so deftly portray the traumatizing balance required to live in the West with deep roots in Iran
Spectacular . . . In a massive feat, Customs continues the work of Look, pushing its mission forward with a new slate of sharp, memorable pieces that are set to inspire yet another generation
Sharif's ruminations on language in Customs - and how to keep it alive and potent - cement her position as one of the most thoughtful poets working today
