Good Brown Girls

In Good Brown Girls, Parul writes for the women who have always lived between worlds, for the women who paves the way, to new places, to the women who were born between them.  Between countries, between who they were told to be and who they are becoming. 
 

Inspired by the South Asian immigrant experience and the lives of first-generation brown women in America, these poems move through a journey of discovery, from Anjaan (unknown) to Jaan (known to one’s heart).

Poignant poems, very real and relatable experiences that any girl with Indian heritage can appreciate and identify with. I think women from any Asian background would find the sentiments and feelings in these poems and essays applicable. Some will make you tear up, some will make you chuckle, some will make you nod your head agreeing. The book is cleverly separated by phases of the authors life.

Growing up with Indian parents, I can relate to this collection of poetry. Written for YA, it is magnetizing and inspiring. It resonates with so many of us who deal with vertical transmission of culture- the positives and the complexities!

What a beautiful collection of poems. I connected with so many of Parul’s stories of being a mother, a daughter and a friend. “You have heard of the girls who shatter ceilings. Rising their own way. Lifting others around them.” This collection made me want to read poetry again.

A beautiful collection of poetry that really tapped into not only the South Asian female experience, but the experience of many women. This collection made me feel seen.
