'[Reclamation Song] explores the role of women in both Afghanistan,
India and the UK and refuses to look away. Wide-ranging and ambitious, they
weave together the personal, political and the social to examine the role of
power and violence in relationships and society. In a poem, where a window
becomes a way of looking at the world and the self, Jhilmil Breckenridge writes
‘The window asks me to be present/to witness’. She answers this calling
throughout this collection, wielding intricate imagery with an accomplished use
of form to create a rich and moving collection.' Kim Moore, author of The Art of Falling
