Join us for this free, intimate evening of conversation and discussion

with author, Amatan Noor as we dive in her debut book 'NOT GUILTY' led by Alexis Patterson (@thebrooklynbookworm) 

Not Guilty is Amatan Noor’s unapologetic poetic endeavor for deliverance. Narratives of legacy, love, solitude, grief and displacement pulsate between origin stories and conjurings that revolt against despair. Trekking through cosmic intergenerational trauma and volatilities of land, Noor declares a reclamation of the body and the self. Poems spring from post-partition East Bengal, to a New Jersey Criminal Courthouse, to cascading cities across Europe and the Middle East where Noor collects soulful mementos and lessons on perseverance. This debut collection embraces one’s inner turmoil while birthing stanzas as balms of convalescence

A striking tale of survivorship, migration, heartbreaks and joy with grit at its core. Not Guilty is a tenacious continuation of the self, past tragedies of catastrophic scope in unfamiliar terrains.

Books will be for sale in the studio after November 11th!
