<p>Ayesha Raees is set to appear at the New Haven bookstore Possible Futures on Friday, Nov 8 to read from her debut poetry collection,
<i><a href="https://radix.coop/product/coining-a-wishing-tower/">Coining a Wishing Tower</a>.
</i>A prose-poetry parable circling death, grief, and the afterlife, it's a poetic memoir from a bright new voice in poetry. She will be joined by poet Danielle Vogel in reading and conversation. We'd love to have you and your students in attendance. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p><i>Coining a Wishing Tower</i> was chosen by author Kaveh Akbar as the winner of the 2020 Broken River Book Prize and originally published by the UK-based Platypus Press in 2022. With Platypus ceasing operations, we took over the project to ensure the book
remains available to poetry readers. <b>This publication will also count as the collection's debut in America</b>.

<p align="center" style="text-align:center"><i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Coining a Wishing Tower</span></i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> is a meditation on death and the afterlife — and the irresistible pull between

“In the end, living is dying many times in one singular life,” writes Ayesha Raees, inviting you to consider the departures that make up one lifetime. The splintering of a voice from domestic life, the defiance of wisdom leaving childhood behind, the egress
from one’s country of birth, and the non-permanence of life and inanimate objects become the rich pasture for the hybrid epic poems in this collection.
