Reviews

'Pirmohamed writes with a flow which is rarely interrupted. She has a fine ear for the musicality in words and knows exactly where a line should turn' -- Susan Mansfield * The Scotsman * 'Pirmohamed's achievements speak for themselves ... each poem is crafted, each word perfectly placed, flowing into one another. Dreamlike, brimming with ideas, it's a collection that engulfs you, invites you to read more, to discover new jewels on each read' -- Heather McDaid * The Skinny * 'In Another Way to Split Water a reader gets to taste arrival before arrival, a form of tenderness that refracts: an inherited vanishing/through the slit of a dream ' -- Bhanu Kapil 'Pirmohamed is an immensely gifted poet' -- Eduardo C. Corral 'An electric, taut, and glimmering achievement' -- Aria Aber 'You will want to map the navigations of these poems. You will be compelled to orbit their magnetic and inimitable oscillations' -- Shivanee Ramlochan '[Another Way to Split Water] inspired me so much. So many things I will think about differently now, from nature to form' -- Tice Cin, author of Keeping the House
