Heart the Size of a Loosening Fist by Orooj e Zafar Reviewed by Asmara A. Malik

Exclusively available at Liberty Books, in store and online
O
rooj e Zafar’s ‘Heart the Size of a Loosening Fist’ is as different from their previous collection, ‘Home & Other Debris’ as a gentle spring shower is from a raging monsoon thunderstorm. The harmonies of their previous collection are represented here as dissonance, a downward spiral that feels as intimate as a paper cut— incisive and painful. Divided into two sections, starting with ‘the clench’ and culminating in ‘the loosening’, the poems are an exploration of the mental decline accompanying trauma—depression, anxiety, PTSD; all the same facets of a mental shoreline being rapidly being eaten away by the uncaring sea of pain and loss. If there was ever a guide who I trusted more to get me through that treacherous shoreline, it is Orooj. Poem after poem comes as a volley of submerged screams, stifled by familial ties, by medication, by the responsibilities of simply being born into this world. The poems in the first half were the most painful to read and I was tempted more than once to simply close the book and take a breath. It is an intense experience, made more haunting by the fact that you know

I remember: being told to sleep, the warmth of all the love my heart could not fathom, the stiff loosening of my fist, Mother being mother. more is still to come. The poems shift narrative gear in the second half, quitter but still relentlessly moving to a bleak conclusion. Each poem builds on the foundation of the preceding ones yet adding to them as well, like ivy creeping up Grecian columns of an abandoned temple. It makes for a harrowing reading experience, and the feelings of powerlessness are echoed from the narrator to the reader in a chamber of shared experience that is both terrifying and full of grief. As the last poem in the book begins, you wonder if this is a new beginning, not just for Orooj, but for you as a reader. If this is the ugly side of pain, no wonder we stay on the shore, clutching
I remember her head on my chest, Alhumdulillah for every unhitched heartbeat. our rosaries and our prayer mats. Faith can only do so much, but you cannot use it as a balm over an amputation and expect it to work. Reading this collection was like taking a journey with Orooj to a
much darker place than I could have ever imagined, but coming through with them into the light was made that much more sweeter knowing they were there, ahead of me, lighting the way. As always, I thank them for this journey—for the pain they are so honest about portraying, for the trauma they’ve lived through and the force of will which keeps them going, in spite of the pain. In reading of how the beating fist of their heart has dauntlessly carries on, perhaps I can guide my heart to do the same.
