Loving Again In The Aftermath

My last lover had hands that broke me.

I’m sorry, he still lives with me sometimes.

But I still want to love you. I do. I’m sorry if his voice is still screaming inside me when I open my mouth. A haunting echo reverberating in my lungs. Don’t listen. Don’t listen. I don’t want to either.

You are so beautiful, but I’m sorry if sometimes I don’t know whether it’s a mask or not. I saw a man rip his skin off right in front of me once. And now sometimes when I run my hands over you, I look for corners that lift. It’s just a habit.

I want to love you wholly. I will one day. Please be patient with me.

a stunning prose and poetry collection by hinnah mian - a new favourite 💘✨

review

a melancholy, a sigh, a drifting dream, draping like a soft blanket over a body trying to be. this was blindingly, achingly beautiful and so incredibly emotionally resonant. i tumbled head over heels in love with this.

deftly-written and -put-together, to form an incredibly cohesive narrative. it's raw and real and unafraid to say things. there's beautiful vivid imagery and metaphors, and running motifs that are such a satisfying thread to tether you to the narrative and even give you a full-circle moment with growth. oh, and i absolutely ADORE the religious metaphors.

an exploration of identity, religion, love, mental health, family, trauma... it"s heavy, yes, but with prescient and acute writing that cuts right to the heart of things in the most beautifully poetic way, weaving words right through all the things we're afraid to say, splaying our secret heart of hearts out bare, tremulous, for inspection - it absolutely feels like a very cathartic collection that is so so healing.

chronicling the process of growing and learning and living and loving and the rollercoaster of healing from trauma, this whole book is something that will be very very special to my heart.
