 y powerful anthology that reminds us that the best antidote to authorita
 rianism is complexity. These essays\, poems\, stories achieve what all g
 reat literature does: it refuses to be put neatly in any single box." - 
 Zahir Janmohamed\, author of The Permitted Hours (forthcoming from Hayma
 rket Books) “Polyphonic\, multivocal\, beautifully harmonious. This coll
 ection is full of overlapping echoes of stories and memories\, dreams an
 d promises. Universe\, Vast Universe speaks so powerfully to these heart
 breaking and soul crushing times we’re in.” - Samaa Abdurraqib\, author\
