Insomnia

Kristine Ong Muslim is a contemporary goddess of poetry. She compels us to enter unique realms of metaphorical magnanimity to spaces—here and now—of sociological profundity. Her style is varied yet marked by manifest visions. Muslim's verse exudes a distinguished type of deliverance that exalts the reader into an enlightened being of reprieve. “The ocean is an oversized boat, which is also a ripple, which is/also a memory of a submerged continent.” “This girl collects shipwrecks and coffee mugs,/green bottles and bone folders—things which/cannot be inherited.”
