  • More about God at the Door

A God at the Door is a collection of poetry by Tishani Doshi that explores themes of nature, humanity, and history, featuring playful and poignant lines that give voice to the marginalized and empower the powerless.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 120 pages
Publication date: 22 April 2021
Publisher: Bloodaxe Books Ltd


A stunning collection from a poet at the height of her powers, Tishani Doshi's Forward-shortlisted A God at the Door spans time and space, drawing on the extraordinary minutiae of nature and humanity to elevate the marginalized. Expanding the territory of her zeitgeist collection Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods, these new poems traverse history, from the cosmic to the quotidian. There is a playful spikiness to be found in poems like "Why the Brazilian Butt Lift Won't Save Us," while others, such as "I Found a Village and in it Were All Our Missing Women," are fueled by rage. As the collection unfolds, there are gem-like poems like "I Carry My Uterus in a Small Suitcase" that sparkle on the page with impeccable precision. Later, there are the sharp shocks delivered by two mirrored poems set side by side, "Microeconomics" and "Macroeconomics." Tishani Doshi's poetry bestows power on the powerless, deploys beauty to heal trauma, and enables the voices of the oppressed to be heard with piercing clarity. From flightless birds and witches to black holes and Marilyn Monroe, A God at the Door illuminates with lines and images that surprise, inflame, and dazzle.
