It was after a long time that I devoted so much time and energy to a poetry collection, for this deserves that attention. A God at the Door by Tishani Doshi is a superb collection; a collection that tackles topics from current political events to that of women's bodies, sexism, racism and general news articles. Yes, the last part was new for me to read in any poetry collection. The best thing is the explanation of almost every poem, or the inspiration behind it, given at the end of the book. If it were not for that, half of the poems would have gone straight above my head.

The poems are politically charged. Through her perfect wit and sarcasm, Doshi has performed her rage at sexism. There is no hidden agenda or to set back in saying the right thing. She is unapologetically true to herself in saying the politically correct thing.

The poems cover quite a huge ground - cover a lot of different topics- and yet they sit brilliantly together. She questions everything and everyone, in the light of truth. She doesn’t hold back. The poems are bold and her narrative shows it.

A wonderful collection that deserves to be savoured slowly- one poem at a time! Looking forward to reading more from Tishani Doshi.
