______________________________________________
Intricately weaving Quranic verse, psychology, and the hip-hop soundtrack of their childhood, Sanah’s poems reach for divinity in the body; an archive that refuses erasure.
These poems traverse unruly emotional and physical landscapes, Whiteness, islamophobia, homophobia, intergenerational suffering, and the politics of therapeutic processes. In these pages, belief and unbelief, goodness and badness, the material and spiritual are intertwined, reclaiming queer love and desire as holy.
How are we incarcerated by others’ gazes? Who gets to be good in a society built upon hierarchy? How might we embrace each other’s madnesses? Sanah Ahsan asks questions that travel to the heart of our humanness, bending the lines between psychologist and client to show us the sacred nature of our wounds. These poems kneel to the messiness of being alive, building altars to complication and presence.
Refusing binaries of gender or religious doctrine, I cannot be good until you say it finds what is to be revered in the grey spaces of morality, advancing imagination and self-compassion as sites of communion.
This debut collection is a call to prayer, fearlessly complicating what is good, and what is god.

批評家のレビュー
Dexterous, varied, erotic, filled with rage, worships and wonder ... I am electrified. If devotional poetry comes from the heart, then Ahsan’s language is a scalpel fit for such surgery (PÁDRAIG Ó TUAMA)
The clinical psychologist’s debut collection is a restless interrogation of various facets of their life and work: their relationship with Islam; queerness; danger in the therapy room. “White makes a muslim of threat. / Dogma makes a threat of queer. / A lie has a way of remaking itself.” Studded with Quranic quotations, Ahsan’s lines often break in ways that make the poems feel unsettled, but that still deliver moments of grace: “desire is a dragonfruit / we are almost tasting / you and the You that we don’t know.”
When I speak of the word “sacred”, Sanah Ahsan’s I cannot be good until you say it will forever instantly spring to mind. Each poem in this collection is a jewel crafted with such deep care - the musicality of the verse, the impact of memory on the language, the precision of themes like family and memory, sexuality and religion all blend together to create this masterpiece. An honour to have read this book, I am forever changed after reading its beauty (NIKITA GILL)
In this innovative and deeply compassionate debut, the path towards love and liberation is fraught with difficulties: structural violence abounds in empire’s wake, and trauma dwells intergenerationally within the body. Even the "[white] experts of / suffering’ have little to offer, with therapy being depicted as ‘a god / of individualisms’ while a doctor ‘plucks a blue pill for the towers burning". The "I" of Ahsan’s poems are caught between competing loyalties, in which the impossibility of being good lies merely one letter away from god and the possibility of grace. Through multilingual verse suffused with a vital musicality and a palpable tenderness, Ahsan calls poetry into prayer and evokes a faith safe enough to be mothered by (MARY JEAN CHAN)
These heart-filled poems walk courageously in pursuit of the divine within the everyday, the sacred within the embodied. Dissolving whatever boundaries that would wall us off from love, Ahsan finds a way to let it all be holy (VICTORIA ADUKWEI BULLEY)
Liberation is at the nucleus of every page of Sanah Ahsan’s rousing debut I cannot be good until you say it. Liberation of families within the gears of capitalism: “Fifteen shifts my mother worked Saturdays so I could bend / my wrists at different angles / over a second-hand violin.” Liberation of faith from the small minds of those who claim Islam but ignore the expansiveness of its deen: “Some need Hell to be muslim— / conjure their own religion / name it / Islam.” And always, liberation of ancestors, beyond time and empire: “we give / our lineage of pain a megaphone.” Ahsan is doing liberation work, offering readers a prayer, a song, a hand to hold amidst the amidst (KAVEH AKBAR)
